I'm running 265/35/18 front and 285/35/18 rear. Front is 18x9 rear is 18x10 +40 all around. No rubbing issues, doesn't look horribly sunk in, and it's a good amount of traction. Frons are a little more sunk in than I would like, but I didn't need to roll, pull or even remove my fender liners.

If you roll just need the cut the fender liner a little where it mounts to the fender and you can still keep it.

This spec should have photos. It's the one I'm looking for.

Pics?

Hmm I don't really have any pics that show the "flushness" but I think I have a side shot. I don't really take many pictures... Let me see what I've got.

Edit: Yes, these are bad pictures, yes, I need to be lower. Buut, I like not having to angle for driveways or care about speedbumps.

Thanks Hvyman. I didn't know that. I'm not really low enough to require a roll or anything, and I think I can go quite a bit lower before needing too still. Though I haven't tried.

I am running xxr 521's 18x10" +25 front and back. 255 tire front and 285 tire rear. When i first installed the wheels i had 245s up front and needed to roll the guard and I had 265 rears which did not need a roll.
Now with 285s I had to roll the rears.

If you get the 8.5 for the fronts you will have no issues, but it doesnt look anywhere near as tough IMO

ive seen a few with 18x10 all around and i like the look. but i just kno ill be pushing it throught the turns and dont want to rub with every bump.

that why i was thinking about 8.5 in the front.

hvyman what do you think would be best 235-245/35/18 for the front on 18x8.5 35mm offset .. and 265/35/18 on 18x10 24mm offset for the rear xxr 521s? im also lowered on h&r springs

You go lower and your quarter lip will start hitting the wheel on bumps. As you sit right now I'm fairly certain you would at high speed with dips. You'd have to roll your quarters... In my opinion.

I've driven this at high speeds without problem several times without any issues. No rubbing of tire or fender at any point. Not to say that there are significant dips on this track, but I've even run the car at streets of willow without any issues. My tires are Hankook V12. Maybe they run a bit skinnier?

I currently have 17x8 +35 and 17x9 +35 work equips on my car. I am looking to for a wider rear that would get me to a 3.5" lip. Both my fronts and rears are 2.5" right now. I really like how the current wheels line up with the fenders. I was thinking I would want to go to a 17x10 at + 30 to keep the wheel at the same place but offer a larger lip or would I want lower or higher offset than that?

That should be fine. I run a 265 in the rear and it doesn't rub. 275 only rubbed up inside the fender on hard bumps with people in the back.

I run 18/10 all around +25. 255 up front doesn't rub and I'm pretty low.

i was wondering how a18x8 +15 and 18x9 +10 would fit our cars or would that be too aggressive mind you that driveability is big for me and I don't want to run an aggressive camber the only reason I'm considering those offsets is due to a crazy deal on a set of folk sf challenge I found any help would be greatly appreciated

ok guys i may just be over thinking this. but i recieved my xxr 521s tonight and went to test fit them without tires mounted yet. the car is up on jack stands so i mounted the left side fronts are 18x8.5 35mm offset and 18x10 25mm offset in the rear. on the front when i turn full lock to the right the lip on the wheel is touching the sway bar i pulled the wheel off and tried to turn the rotor to see if it was at full lock and it was did not turn anymore . now my question i feel like im over thinking. with the suspension sagging it rubs but would it not rub when every thing is level with weight on it i guess it would change the angle of the suspension and maybe the clearnce issue would be solved but i kno i have to put tire on and still may run then? i kno alot of guys are running 18x10 25mm offset and most of them say not rubbing issue how is that. the sway bar is a suspension tech so a little thhick than stock. sorry this is so lon just try to explain i to the fullest thanks for all you help.

are you lowered also im on h&r springs and thats pretty low. im just asking cause ive already had to send my front wheels back and get a different offset just dont want to get to big of a tire or to small of a tire and have alot of sidewall stretch. with 235/245-40-18 front or a 255/265-35-18 of those what would be the best for me

Ok so hopefully I ordered correctly... I ordered the 18x8+20 front 18x9.5+20 rear I assume that I will have to do some fender modification..... What size tire would you recommend??

That's the same setup I'll be running, if I ever get my wheels :banghead: (been back ordered for 6 months). Should sit a full inch outwards front and back compared to stock offset. From my measurements it should fit pretty flush.

For tires I'm running 235/40R18 and 275/35R18 BFG Comp 2, this setup the tires should be completely flat (no stretch or bulge) depending on the tire. Depends what look your into.

Should only require rolling fenders, maybe more if you're slammed down.
