Yes they will fit. Not aggressive by any means. I don't know about bolt pattern, hub size, etc. but the size/offset is fine.

225/50/17-245/45/17 on the front and 245/45/17-275/40/17 on the rear. You can go thinner, but you don't really need to.

No clue but you can bet on at least $100/wheel.

Yeah they can, but I would never trust myself driving aggressively on them. One pothole or track day and youll be posting pics of your car with only three wheels on.

Greets,

(I only made it to page 82 before my eyes started to blur. Apologies if this was answered in the last third of the thread)

18 x 9.5 +38 all corners: consensus seems to be that up to 265/35 will fit fine without rolling. How about a 255/40 tire? Overall diameter is much closer to stock (differences in tire make/brand aside), but will it be stretched much?

I'm dropped on MS springs.

ehh Id stay away from a 40 sidewall, itll look like a balloon. And a 35 sidewall is actually closer to stock.

The rears might need rolling depending on how low the MS drops

^Actually Ross you are wrong

A 255/40/18 has the same Diameter as the stock 225/45/18 Tire - 26.0"

A 265/35/18 has a Diameter of 25.3".

Should maybe do a bit of reading before giving false information next time yeah?

Will it fit fine without rolling on a 265/35...That all depends on the tire brand and the amount of negative camber you are running. Also how low your drop is. It will be close, so really you won't know for sure untill you try.

The 255/40 won't be stretched too much on a 9.5" wheel. But it has a 4" sidewall when the 265/35 has a 3.7" sidewall. So you will have a more meaty tire. 265 will definitally look better on a 9.5" wheel.

^Well then maybe you should have said that in the first place

And with the outside edge of a tire being about 5mm inward on both sides. I dont think the taller tire would really rub noticibly more than the wider one. or vice versa.
