I've got two options, and I'm looking for flush, no poke..

18X9 +38, 245/40/18
or
18X9 +30 245/40/18

I think it's safe to assume both would req rolling.

Will be dropped on S-techs

Less weight, cheaper tires, makes the car look lower, and meatier tires.

I was thinking of getting a set of 17s for track days for pretty much the same reason. Don't care about the looks, just wondering if ground clearance on stock suspension would be an issue.

uh if you get the same diameter tire as stock there will be no change. Your car will not be or look lower, you'll just look like you have tall sidewalls.

Get the picture of what 17s look like with sidewall and without by searching for my pictures in many threads.

Will this fit without a fender roll?

I have no suspension or brake modifications, I do not plan on lowering due to road/parking lot entrance issues ><.

Would this fit? Any suggestion, pls advice.
I got Buddy Club P1 SF : 18*8.5 ET 30 and 18*9 ET30 for rear. Would it fit? Would its gonna be any rubbing issue? And for the rear tires, should I go with 245 or 255?

18x9 +38, Meagan Racing springs/stock shocks. Would I need a fender roll with 245/40/18? What about 255/35/18?

I think I changed my mind a bit... I want wider tires but I think I'm going to keep the balance since this setup wouldn't let me do much in terms of brakes and suspension...

So just to be sure, this would work right?

A 265 tire on a 8.5 rim might be a little too wide. I think the widest you could probably go on an 8.5 is a 255 without it ballooning

Thanks... sounds like it would clear better anyway so lets go with that, 255s not 265s.

Side note... Rims don't come in machined/black for 19x8.5 :'(

255-35-18 would work with those 18x8's right?

Go wider than stock. Quit being a wuss and lower the car. 255/35 and stock height would be hilarious. Just all wrong basically.
