Tire size and suggestions...

So I just got my rims in and need to put some tires on them! Currently running S-03 Pole Positions... got them from tire rack when they had them on sale for $125...

My new rim sizes are as follows:

18x8 +40
18x9 +40

My invoice says my rims are 18x8 +33 and 18x9 +27, not sure which it is I got.

Assuming I got what I ordered, what would you suggest? I havn't tracked the car yet, but I do plan on it sometime... just busy with school and work. Not usually too much rain and doesnt exactly get cold here. Thanks in advance!

Guess I could ask here too... would the 18x8 +33 and 18x9 +27 even fit? Any rolling required? How should they sit? I'm guessing they wont be flush...

They'll fit, your rears will need to be rolled. It'll stick out a little bit, depends on your camber.

I guess you wanna run staggered tires?

245/40 front, 275/35 rear.

alright... at least they fit. Basically was told since it was a custom order, they cant really do anything about it. They would just have them sitting there for months without any hope of getting them to sell.

So how aggressive will this look? Not too sure what that offset would look like...

Thanks for the reply!

Yeah it'll fit fine. It'll look bad ***. It'll be flush, but will stick out a little.

cool... Rims are a bit more on the flashy side so I guess it might actually be better

this might sound stupid, but I wanted to get 255/ 40R- 18's all around. Would these tires stick out?
