Question another fitment ?, i tried to figure it out before i asked

hey guys i'm planning on going with an extra set of wheels just for a different look on the car. i was wondering if you think i would have an issue with fitment with this combo? front 18x8+45 tire 225 or 235/35 or 40 rear 19x10+22 275/35 (? options). i don't know if this rear will require fender roll or not. if anyone has any input i would be greatful. oh yeah car has tein flex coilovers and current wheel set up is 18x8.5+44--235's front & 18x9.5+44--265's bbs lm1's.

thanks for any help in advance, mark

Unless you want to look like a drifter, you are probably going to need a rear fender pull or at least some small over-fender flares to fit those wheels/tires.

On a stock rear fender, no way a 19x10+22 is going to fit on a 275. You will need to run a stretched tire and negative camber to get that to fit, still might need to roll the rear.

What style are you setting up the car for?

I would pull and roll the fenders, and run a smaller tire.

i just wanted a little more agressive stance i.e. the 18's in front & 19's in rear. i wanted to keep the width in the rear though, but i guess that is not going to happen at all. with the wheels that i want the only other option for the 19" in the rear is 8.5 wide with a +17 offset. hopefully this will fit. i don't want to pull the rear fenders, i don't think a little bit of a roll would hurt but i don't want to change the look of the rear fender.

thanks for the input and help
