I guess it also depends on the tyre brand. With Michelins it looks like I need rolled fenders and some negative camber unless I don't lower the car much or leave coilovers on hard setting.

My friend here is running 295/35, wheels are 18x10+38

Just seems like a 295/35-18 would be tall. I may give it a try in the back with the next set of tires.

Cheers again for all the help guys, really appreciate it

Bloke here in Aus is running the following

18x9 +18 offset O disk - Fronts
18x9.5 +12 offset O disk - Rears

Has 245s front and back he said? Looks like 255s could go on without much of a drama

The car is below

Thanks chick0 for the pic



Rears im not sure about, the meisters dont come in +12, they come in +11 (O disk).

Should fit fine yes?

it all depends on how aggressive you want to go...

here something to help you decide.
18x9.5 +22 - 255
18x10.5 +22 - 275
im running the shine front fenders and plan on a rear pull soon.

^here you can run both +22 or +15. i have the +22 setup right now but wouldn't mind going +15 with more camber. (use the attachments below for a bigger picture)

^and here you can see that with a pull (remember this fender is still stock)the rear tire will tuck nicely and you still can have alot of tire...the +15 rear setup will require a largeer pull with a smaller tire.

Thanks 22 seems safer leaves me with options too. I could always, run a spacer or Step up the size to 255/275 like you have as well

Thanks!

that a good way to put it.

the 22 leaves you opions while theres only a few ways to pull off the +15.
for anyone else thinking about this setup i dont want to discourage you from the +15. both are still doable. just the +15 is much harder of a pull and tuck.

good luck. post up when ur done

Wheels wise... Yes.
Tires arent the same. If you look a few post before that one, FDmuri posted the same picture with tire sizes

I rolled the fronts, the rears I trimmed the inner seam protrusion almost completely to the fender. I ordered some 255's for the rear, there is enough room. I have Pettit Trak pro coilovers, preloaded but on the softest setting. Very little movement and no rubbing on bumps etc. I drive up driveways and speedbumps angled, but with the fronts straight, any turning and the tire will grab the fender liner.
