question

Is there anyplace i can look online to figure out if certain rim and tire combos will work without rubbing or needing body work. i am getting my tein s techs soon and after that i am looking at some 18x8 +35offset rims with 245/40/18 tire.

I know these are usually beat to death but i cant find anything for this specifically.

i am kinda worried that the tires will rub but i am not completely sure.

the problem with "will it fit" questions is that every car is quite different so there is no real way for one place to know if everything is going to fit or not

245/40/18 on an 18x8 +35 should fit no problem

i'm running a 245/35/19 on a 19x8.5 +36 up front so this should at least give you an idea of what it will look like up front. The rear should really have no problem



ps - im lowered to the point where I touch both the tire and the fender when I curve one finger in that gap
