so i spoke with my omar, nycdriftking, on a tire setup i might get, but want some other opinions, we think i should be fine with fitment but want to make sure,
i got my enkie rpf01 18/9.5 +45 and have the ability to get a brand new set of tires size 265/40/18 and want to make sure I'm in the clear, car is on stock suspension, will i rub any were? or will i be in the clear, i was also considering weight of the tire as to slowing me down rather than helping with acceleration, each tire is only 26lbs, not that bad considering some 225 tires weigh the same amount, your thought on this set up? john

Side skirts
Thanks man. I plan on having side skirts ... I even bought the fenders that have the holes in them already. There is also a little rust in the back that I have to fix then paint rest of car. (I'm painter by trade)

With you being 2mm farther inboard and being on 18s, I would expect they would fit with no fender/suspension mods. Not sure, but I figured my experience might be close enough for you.
My fronts are 8.5 wide with 245/35s, so no comment there.

You need 265-35-18 tires...the 40 series sidewall will be too tall

thanks for the info, i decided not to go with the tire, was going to get them only cause i wouldve got them for a steal, but I'm not willing to screw up my car to save 400.00 bucks,only to have to spend more later to fix a bigger problem, im just gona stretch my new stock tires on them till they wear down enough to get a 245 size tire, the car sits garaged most of the year any way,and rarely comes out,
Came across a deal that I couldn't pass up. Paid $300 for the set and the A6s are barely used. However I will be selling the A6s. The XXR aren't my first choice, but for almost free can't complain. I'm on stock suspension, how dumb will it look?! LOL

You will need a roll if you are lowered at all. You will likely have issues with 265 series tires as well...depending on the type. Some are wider than others
They will definitely fit...but will need some fender work
I'm at stock suspension and ride height. Not looking to roll the fenders any time soon. So I'll probably just resell the wheels and tires separately and make some money off them.
In the market for new wheels and tires. Another member shared his specs with me for the same set of wheels I am interested in but our suspension set up is a little different
Before anyone comments on the wheels themselves, I know they are pretty common but I really like them
Forgestar f14: 18x10 +42, 275/35/18
I am on tein stech and I think that's it (previous owner).
My goal is to be pretty flush with the wheel well (not slammed/hella) and I don't want to use spacers or roll fenders.
With the f14s in mind, anyone have another set up suggestion? I've gone through the f14 thread but I haven't gone through all 441 pages of this one yet...
Thanks!

I don't drive too hard but I'd like the option to have a little fun. I don't mind narrower tires as long as they don't end up looking like a puckered butthole on the wheels.

Most 275 width tires should be ok with that offset
Thoughts? I'm not a wheel/tire expert as you can probably tell. Haha
Thanks!

You get a bit of tramlining with the wide tires but not that much. A square setup is best..if you go narrow on the front it will make it push more. You can rotate them that way as well and it just works better
245-50-18?
I just bought a set on 18" RX8 40 anniversary rims with 245-45-18 on them. They need replacing but I'd rather more profile. Has anyone had any rubbing issue with 245-50-18"s ?

If they are the same offset as the five spoke stock, you will be OK as long as you're still in stock height. The 50 profile is a little thick than the 45, at least 1/8 of an inch I think.
Looking at a set of Work XD9's and I believe the fronts will work. Rears may need some fender roll. Figured I'd post for clarity.

Lowered about an inch on unknown springs.

Those will be close I think the rears should be OK as long as you aren't too low
