It's such a shame when someone runs a tire wide enough for the wheel with reasonable camber.

I mean, he could easily get away with a squared setup on 245/40 and not have to run any camber.

TSW Kyalmari 18x9 +25 with 225's on them, will those fit without any fender rolls or anything? My car is completely stock still. I'm not a fan of stretched tires, but I'm getting a awesome deal for them with tires that are shot and a spare set with ~60% too, all for $300. I'd say they would be great for just a daily set.

all around? A roll would be suffice with some camber depending on how low you go.

I'm just trying to figure out why you're so set on such wide tires. Its pointless. and will cost you so much more money. Is there a specific reason you want to go so wide?

This isn't a tire thread. Both of those suck as summer tires anyway

so with 300+ pages i made it through 6 and didnt see what i was after, so i'm going to just ask.....looking to order motegi mr125 in 18-9 with +35.
currently have 245/40/18 r1r's on the car as of last friday, not sure what rims are currently on other than they are xxr518. they guy is telling me what i want to order is going to interfere with the caliper. but i'd swear i read here on a different thread at one point in time, 18-9 with +35 will fit with 245/40/18. any last thoughts before i spend money?

That should fit the fender with that offset...the caliper clearance is another issue entirely. That depends on the way the wheel spokes dish. Best thing is to try it in and see if it clears...it should be fine though if I had to guess

Hint: A 17" wheel fits fine. Also, your lower than stock offset should leave more room.

Hint 2: Read more than 6 pages.

You should grow your patience a bit and read some of the main sticky threads around here if you want to properly take care of this car and not get constantly flamed. The size you are looking to use, or at least close to it, is VERY COMMON.
