FD: 9.5" et35 rim with 245 in front?

Hey im about to get a set of new wheels and they are 9.5" with ET35. they have 245 wide tires on 18" rim. will these work in the front or do i have to change the tyre to a smaller one?

I would change the tire to a 235/40. And even then you MIGHT get slight rubbing if your car is lowered. If your car is at stock height, you should be fine.

the car is a little lowered right now but is going to get lower. the problem doesn't look like the upper part of the fender but the lower rear part of it.

You should roll your fenders to be on the safe side, and especially since you said you are going to lower it more.

What size wall are you going with for your 245 if you decide to run them? Dont neglect your fender liners, those can be torn to shreds easily and thats where your harness is located (inside the driver side fender liner), you dont want problem with that, it can be a big headache.

It will fit fine, or you could run negative camber if you are that worried about it.

You shouldn't see any rubbing down in that area.

I ran 18x8s ET28 with 225/40-18s. No fender rolling running on Tein Flex. It only rubbed on me once in a year period. I took a massive bump.
