Need some advice and feedback on wheel and tire set up
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!

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!

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??

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?
