fitment help.

Ok i'm going to order some new rims that are 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear both 35mm offset, question is what is the widest i can go front and back w/ out shaving my fenders,and w/ out rub. this is what i would like.

245/45/18 front and 265/45/18 rear. My car is also lowered and sits pretty low.

If not that size could you guys give me the closest size that will fit for SURE with not rubs.


I know this has been asked time and time again, i just read the will it fit thread but i didnt see this set up so if i can get an answer that would be great so i can order my tires now.

I have 20" wheels stock width.... the only reason i got 20" is because i like more rim then tire and a 20"rim with a 35 series tire (nitto neo Gen) measures the exact same diameter (24.5inches) as the 18" stock wheel with 45 series Dunlop Sports

FYIeven ur car lowered and posting the size of the wheels and tires...theres only one way to find out...by putting them on....and little that...just cuz they dont rub when u mount them and even turn them side to side....when cornering u do get body roll....or when u stop the front hard....So yeah....for size you can go with the diameter of ur tire+rim...for width...u have to drive it....

there are tons of threads on this, just look. Ignore the troll, he has no idea what he's typing about.
Good luck.

Looks to me like a good fit, but check that the wheels you pick will clear the front calipers......

they should b/c the wheels i have now are 40 offset, so i hope any ways lol. I love idiots that post **** like pblue. If you had a high enough education level to read you would notice that ive searched and read the fitment page and i did not see this setup so i got tired of looking and just asked.

thanks for the help guys
