If I go with 255 / 35 on 18x10 +35 how far off would I be from atillas pictures? Really like the way that sits.

Chad you must have beaten the ever living **** out of the area behind the front fender plastic, ie that ridge of metal.

nah, I'm riding 225/45 up front. Most of my liner is still there, just the obvious spots are worn out. I don't sit flush either, I'm a bit tucked. Compromises.
2.4 camber

Ok, so still thinking and what kind of work would i need if i went 18x9.5 +30/+25 255/35/18. And would i still be able to rock the turns? Or does the 18x9.5 +35 255/35 fit what im looking for.

imho, Go with the +35 255's. The sidewall will be up to you - i find the 35 series is more to my liking for casual driving whereas i preferred the 40 series for more actual driving. Then again, different tire makes run differently (some bigger than others).

If you want more flushness you can always strap on some small spacers. That is unless you want that hellaflush look then you're gonna need a different width entirely.

et30

I don't mean to be lazy but I've tried looking at many of the pages and can't find my answer.

I've bought a couple of new Rota wheels cheap. Before I buy the other 2 at not such cheap price, I would like to know if they will fit with no mods to the liners or arches.

8.5 x 18 et30 f
9.5 x 18 et30 r

Looking at one of the original threads it seems a 35 offset on rear might cause a problem but the front might be ok.

I had in mind 225/45 front tyres and 245/40 or 255/35 rear.

Can I get away without rolling the rear arches by getting the camber moved ? I've got BC coilovers (street/track day) but I was told they don't have camber adjustment on them so I guess that's on the bushes.

Great forum btw ! Anything I could dream of doing to the RX, someone here seems to have done it already !

/\ You'll be good. Mine has same specs but +32 and I have some room still.
You will want to roll your fenders, that's about it.

Im currently on 18x10 +35 with 235 front and 255 rear, this fits with easy with no mods. What I want to do is put the 255 up front and run 285 on the rear. How much work to make the rears fit?

Question - why are you fitting two different sized tires on the same size wheel?

If you're willing to modify the rear fenders - just do the same to the fronts.

A simple roll will suffice (if you're not slammed). You will end up saving more money in the long run becuase you'll be able to rotate your tires if you run the same spec tire on all four corners.


also, the tire doesn't have to be 285 to be square fitted on a 10" wheel. Depending on brand you could probably get away with 275's. Saves a lil' weight n' accomplishes the look.
