How bad are my tires gonna rub?
 
Ok here is the set up i wanna go with.
BBS RGR 18x8 up front with 235's 40 offset
18x10 in back with 275's 42mm offset

Car is a 93 fd. I have koni shocks and H&R springs. I know its gonna rub, but would rolling the fenders take care of the problem?

Roll your fenders and you will be fine.

how much are you lowered? front should fit no prob, back should fit as well I had 265/35's on my 18x9.5's with a +32 offset and my 17's I had a 275/40's +42. never had to roll my fenders. good luck man

i ran 18 X 8.5 +38 235/40/18 front at 25 inch ride height and 18 X 10 +45 w 285/35 at 25 inches. fenders were rolled.

i now run 18 X 9.5 +40 255/35 and 18 X 10.5 +30 295/30. the rear has small fender flares.

low ride height is important. if you want to go fast don't jack the car up to clear the tires.... roll the fender lips if necessary, and run 25 inches ride height.

i have the same setup as you do. The back tires fit perfectly , but the front tires had a little bit of rubbing. i rolled the fenders and now, no rubbing

alright thanks guys. I was hoping i wouldn't have to put flares on, and it sounds like i won't have to. I'll just roll the fenders which is no big deal.
