No, they will not fit. Actually the front would fit, but the rear is not even close. The rear offset is way too low.

Please read the Wheel Fitment Guide sticky at the top of the forum page (it's also right here in my sig.)

Nothing close to those specs will fit the rear. Read the Guide and you'll see why.

Cheers.

its all about camber+pulled tires+minimal suspension travel.

rubbing is a factor of wide tires and large suspension travel

Well sure, if you want to modify your fenders, run more camber than makes sense, limit suspension travel until your car rides like a brick, and use narrow tires on wide wheels, sure you can use a 35 offset.

The rest of us will stick to realistic offsets.

By the way, care to elaborate on what "pulled tires" means?

pulled=VIP style

whenyou run a brand like... BFG/dunlop/nitto. pretty much anything w/ lip protector you can pull it on the wheel.

say. a 255 dunlop on a 9" wheel.. the dunlops designed for an 8.. so itl pull. look in any magazine at those XB's and XA's and lexi' running 10's and 11" wheels.

it doesnt hurt the car.. just looks good

for example.. 18x9.5 +43 w/ pulled on tire
the front is an 8.5 +48

the suspension travel feels great to me. i love tein flex and would like even higher spring rates.. maybe the Race coilovers next.. its just what your willing to do and buy without reassurement itl fit

you mean stretched tires?? it more of a drifter thing. 255 on 9's isnt really that stretched. most drifters here run 225 on 9

Not to me. I think it looks weird.

But thanks for the explanation.

Cheers.

tru, depends on the brand.
