They will sit flush with your fenders, I would advise running a tire no wider then 265 with a minor drop.... Any more lowering or use of a wider tire will require you to roll your fenders...

I run a 17x9.5 +38 RPF1 wheel with a 275/40 tire and i have no major rubbing issues. They fit pretty flush with the fender.

And my car is lowered, about 26 inches ground to fender.

18x9.5 +38 with 285/30/18 all around (not my car, dont ask about it)
18x10 will barely look any different.

Its amazing what Drifting has done to the import scene, now it is not cool unless the rim is sticking out the fenders with streched tires...to me the car above with the RPF1's is perfect...oh well what do I know since I am old school...LOL...

When I see rims sticking out past the fender with streched tires it reminds me of the low rider trucks back in the days that we used to make fun off...LOL..

+1 I think it looks terrible. I could never justify putting a 225 on say an 11" wheel. It amazes me even more when they go around claiming to be "hella flush" with their 3* of negative camber and half of their inner rim showing because the tire is stretched way more then it should be.

Oh well, different strokes for different folks.

...which he got an answer to from you and others.

Hey BRO... is that your car? What kind of sus are you running to wear so much meat? Any rubbing issues?















Before you get all bent out of shape again... I know it isn't your car. And look, my comment sparked a debate and renewed a friendship... awwwwwwwww...

That particular car is made to go fast, not look 'cool'.
