I am plan to buy some new wheel for my 1993 FD. Most likely it will be Volk Racing Gram light 57 Pro with high performance tires.

Here are the size and setup I am thinking about:
Wheel: FR 18X9 +40; RR 18X10 +38
Tires: FR 255X35X18; RR 275X35X18

My question is do you think it will have fitment and rub issue? Do I need to roll the fender to fit this set up? Do you see any issue to this setup and what is the maximum size of wheel and tire I can put on without roll the fender?

Thank you!

 

haha thats my setup with my pros

but for the rears i would go 285/35/18

and yes u do need to roll the fenders (front especially)

heres a pic for ya


se nd me a pm maybe i can get these wheeels cheaper for ya and not have to wait 6 months for them

Hey Mike,

Thanks for your feedback. Wow, you have a beautiful setup and these wheels do look good!! Do you have rubbing problem when going through speed bump or pot hole?? Did you lower your FD at all? If so by how much? Will this set up miss up the speedometer

PMed you about getting some info to order these wheels. Thanks!

Proper rear tire size would be 285/30 18. You'll have to roll front and rear fenders.

 

Hi Rynbefg,
Thanks for your comments. Do you mean 285/35/18 is too wide for the rear end of the car?

All,
Which location(s) can I get them cheapest on the internet? I am looking to buy a set of four with tires combo and like to get them within couple weeks. Any recommendation??

 

im running hks coilovers , but forget how much i lowered it

no rubbing wutsoever

oo im running +43 offset for fronts

the speedo is not affected by much (like 2mph)

Mike,
I will be install an Tein Flex coilovers soon. Just PM you for more questions.
In addition, do you know what is the biggest wheel and tire combo that'll fit without rolling the fender base on the same type of wheel and offset?
