Naturally its going to depend on springs and offset, but 275s are plenty wide. Play it safe. I have 275s on 17x10 and they are oh so close to the struts.

Have any pics of your new rims? Are you still using the stock suspension?

Since it is an 18, you can put 285s on it, but I would go with 285/30 not 285/35s. They will sit closer to the wheel, and farther away from anything else.

Hey just for the hell of it, have the shop also order 295/30 18s to see how it will fit on it.

WOW. 295s



It will probably require some chopping of things. I have seen a FD at Laguna Seca run 305s in the rear on 18s.

Right now I am running really low because of cut springs (not my doing)

I am putting on a set of stock springs in 2 weeks so I will be basically running on completely stock suspension. Car will probably look a little high due to the 18s.
