I'd say he'd probably still need to roll the fenders even with a +25, MIGHT even need a slight pull since it's only 10mm difference and I had mine pulled about an inch or so with 295s, but might be able to get away with rolling and not pulling.
Yea he has to roll the fenders for sure but not a pull, but that will also depend on the size of tire he is putting tho. Awhile back i had 10.5+25 on the rear and fitment was great. I dont really remember the size of the tires that were on but im wanting to say they were 285s

Depending on the brand of tire, a 295/30 will fit perfectly on a 10.5, no stretching and no bulging on the sidewall. I had Sumitomo HTRZ III and I now have Yokohama AD08 and they both fit on 10.5 perfectly. I guess we'll find out when he posts pics haha.

I'll post up some pics when I get the car done, but the wheels I chose are Work XD-9's
18x9.0 +20
18x10.0 +18

Probably a 255 up front but I'm debating on a 295 or 285 out back. This car is going to have FEED front and rear fenders. Like Speed said, the brand makes the biggest difference, no one's ruler is the same apparently.

to run 305s you need the RP trailing arms for inside clearance. It won't help you guys running crazy offsets though.

Roger that, 285/35 is a tall tire as well and 295/30 will fit a little better I think.

Wheels are 8 weeks away, got them coming in Matte Black, car is headed to the body shop soon so wheels won't go on until spring anyway Patience is a virtue :P

good!

I've read about 10 times around the post, and I'm still in doubt!

as my economy is not very good, I have to choose the mount rotates tires, my fd has now mounted a tsw 18x8 et 40 with 225/40-18, is very stuffed and the car leaves a lot of up front and back, is unstable truth.

because I have options
rotated grids (copy Volk TE37) 18x9.5, not that corresponds et
broken boost (copies of advan rg) 18x9, not that corresponds et
g-force or broken d-force (back-advan-rs rs d) in 18x8 front and 18x9-9.5-9.5 behind, nor that et

I want to remain flush with the fenders, but if removing without opening the lip they have, I do not want to rub, and I have doubts as to pass mot. Here in Spain is that the issue is sickening. They should not exceed 3 mm on each side of the wheel, the tire should not leave the defense, so I want to flush.

I mounted 235/35-18 tire at all, or 235/35-18 255/35-18 front and behind, but I do not want the car to the front as it take less understeer.

I hope that you understand everything and you can help.

I leave you some pictures of my car today!

greetings and thank you very much

buenas!!!

me he leido unas 10 veces todo el post, y aun sigo con dudas!!

como mi economia no es muy buena, tengo que elegir el montar llantas rota, mi fd ahora mismo lleva montadas unas tsw 18x8 et 40 con 225/40-18, queda muy metidas y el coche se va mucho de alante y de atras, es poco estable la verdad.

pues tengo opciones de
rota grids (copia de volk te37) 18x9.5 ,no se que et corresponde
rota boost (copias de advan rg) 18x9 ,no se que et corresponde
rota g-force o d-force (copia de advan rs-rs d) en 18x8-9.5 delante y 18x9-9.5 detras, tampoco se que et

quiero que me queden a ras de las defensas, sin abrirlas pero si quitando el labio que tienen, no quiero que me rocen, y tengo dudas en cuanto a pasar itv. Aqui en españa esta que da asco el tema. No deben exceder 3mm a cada lado de la rueda, no debe salir el neumatico de la defensa, por eso quiero que quede a ras.

de neumatico quiero montar 235/35-18 en todas, o 235/35-18 delante y 255/35-18 detras, pero no quiero que el coche al llevar menos medida delante sea subvirador.

espero que entendais todo y me podais ayudar.

os dejo unas fotos de mi coche actualmente!!!

saludos y muchas gracias

A friend of mine has those wheels and he has 295's and they do fit perfect.




Is this how you want your car to look like

Saw that pic on the WORK website. Love those. Looks like stock fenders so he must have done the higher offset I guess. There's a red FD on here with the ones I'm getting. Very clean, a little JDM style...perfect!

It did! remember he sold the wheels separate cause the buyer didnt want them? I tried to get them but he wanted me to drive all the way there and i couldnt. And if im not wrong he also got rid of some other stuff on the car to leave it as close as stock possible

19's

I have gotten negative response so far on this fitment from people on this forum, however everyone who has seen the car in person loves them!

19x8.5 fronts with 235/35/19
19x9.5 rears with 265/30/19

No rubbing or mods required and I have lowering springs on the way...1.5 for the rear and .75 for the front. I also ordered a set of the black side skirts to give a lower look.

i can see where your going with your set up.. but your gonna deff have to lower it ALOT!! with 19s...

ofcourse you have no issues with rubbing, or mods done to it.. because your car is not low...

and once you do lower it, since you got springs, your gonna mess up your fenders and rub . and probably end up pulling the inner fender lip out..(always happens to ppl even on stock ride height with stock wheels)


wait till you hit a dip on the highway, or go up a nicely sloped drive way, ..



best thing you could of done was roll your fenders, and gotten coilovers... deff worth the money...


but deff post up when you lower it.. wanna see more pics
