Yeah, my tires are just barely popping out on 18x9 +29 with my H-techs. Looks great IMO. On 18x9.5 +15 they'll be really sticking out on H-techs.

Those are my pics on the previous page. They're not the best - just some cam phone pics I took real quick when the wheels were first installed. Here's another shot:

Thanks! I'm very happy with them, and they look even more aggressive up close - especially with those meaty Star Specs. I'm not as much of an expert on wheel fitment as some of the guys around here. But I'd say without lowering the car a little more, they're going to stick out more than you want. Also, my front wheels just barely fit without rubbing, most of the time. I found that they rubbed the fender lining once or twice , but it was minor. And like I mentioned on the previous page, my rears were rubbing quite a bit without a roll. Point is that you'd most likely need work done to the front and rear fenders to make those +15's fit, as well as added camber. Definitely an aggressive fitment.

Go with 265/35 or 275/35 and roll fenders + remove the bumper tab. 275 might need the slightest of pulls to work.

Hey guys ive recently bought 18/9 + 15 (front) and 18/10 +35 (rear) and am probably going to run 235/40/18 tyres for front and 255/35/18 for rear. would these fit without coilovers or upgraded suspension. i dont want to lower it just yet and would it be a fairly comfortable setup.

No it won't fit without an upgraded suspension. It will sit outside the fenders unless you are lowered about 2"

Coilovers would be my choice and put 265/35 on the back instead

Autox tire question. In stock class must run stock rim. How much work to fit 275/35/18 Hoosier A6's on an '05? Fender rolled? Inner fender liner rubbing?

Race tires notoriously don't follow their measurements. Check in the racing section.

The max size for the stock 18" rims and no offset?

I didn't want to scour hundreds of pages to find the answer and I clicked on the 18 tag and found out 245/40 will fit but what about 255/40? I just want to know what the max is you can put on the stock rims without it hitting the wheel well. Thanks and sorry if it's already been answered.
