Unhappy will a 18x9.5 +35 with a265 tire fit on rear of fd with no fwnder mods?'

I just got a set of Enkei raijin wheels they are 18x8.5 in front +38 and 18 x9.5 in rear +35! I was gonna do 235 40 in front and 265 35 in rear! Is that setup gonna fit with no fender rubbing in rear? Any suggestions? I also have the ground control coil overs already installed! Please! Any body running similar!! Need to know before I buy tires and don't wanna mess with rolling or stretching rear fenders! Thanks any help is much appritiated!!!!!!!

Red face thanks guys

Thanks for the help! Iwas just debating to do that set up or to go with 255 35 r, and 225 35 f,to Roux them out and stretch the tires a bit for more clearance! But would much rather have more rubber on the grind! Thanks again!

Post pics when you get them on, thinking about the exact same setup.
FYI I have a 9,5x19 ET 35 with 255 tires and they fit quite nice.

I did search! All of the threads were about a different set up than I was doing! And involved allot of rolling or messing with the rear fenders! Mabee i missed one Thank you though! How do the 255,s on the 19,s fit? Does it look like you can squeeze a 265 on there without fender issues? Thank you!

I would think so, I didn't rub with Bilstein B6 with H&R springs on. I had 19x8,5 ET 35 up front with 225's on. Those did rub slightly on the lip, but that was because the car was very low up front, almost so that the fender lip was lower than the diameter of the wheel if you understand. Anyways, you dont have any pics of the wheels? I think they look great, and consider the exact same setup as you.

Just for reference. I am running 18x9.5" +45MM with a 265/35/18 tire on the front of my car. I rolled the fender a little.....and you will rub the fender lining in the front when the wheel is full turn.

I have a 18X10" +38MM rear wheel with 265/35/18 with no problems at all with a stock fender.
