you are going to want to roll them, even with that tire size. the chance of catching the lip is high and disasterous.


looks like the cyberevo is on the stretch bandwagon due to higher grip and more predictable traction/breakaway/steering input.

Bump - could I run a 17x10 38 in back with 275s and stock, unrolled fenders? Sounds like it works with the 9.5 38s but I'm wondering if the 10s would be too much.

Offset is what matters when fitting a tire. the width of the wheel doesn't matter. Since they have the same offset the tire will be located in the same exact spot.

Thanks. For some reason I was thinking offset was determined relative to one edge of the wheel or another but now I'm remembering it's from the centerline. So why is the standard rec to do the 9.5s in back? Jist being conservative or are the 17x10 RPF1s fairly new?

You have me confused. I would go with the 10's and 255/40/17 tire. that is just me. I don't see any problems with fitting that wheel either, plenty of room for it.

I fit a 18x11.5" +41.7mm offset and have just a little bit of room between the trailing arm and wheel. I wouldn't run more than an 11.5" tire though.

Would love to see this fitment, should look so aggressive.
