Default Fitment help!

Hey guys, i have a set of rims 18x9.5 +30 all around. I have my stock fenders rolled. Is it possible to run 225/35 all around without rubbing? Please help. I am running 215 in the front right now and it doesnt seem aggressive enough. But i dont wanna waste money without posting first.

What are the specs of your wheels now? Are you looking for the hella flush look? This guy here has 18x9.5 +30 in the front with a 215/35. https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/922...00-with-tires/

They're already on my car. Im using 215/35 in the front and 225/35 in the rear. Im just wondering if the front will fit a 225/35 for a square setup. I believe my camber is around -4 right now in the rear. I dont mind camber in the front as long as its not crazy.

First off the 215/35R18 is unsafe on a 18X9.5 wheel. The tire is also 1" shorter than stock and low on load capacity. The 225/35R18 will take care of the load capacity but they are still shorter than stock and they still are not recommended by the tire mfg on the 9.5 wheel. I would say without work they are going to rub. The wheel is 1" wider than the stock AP2 and the offset is pushing the wheels toward the fender another 1.3".

I've had the 215 for 5 months daily highway driving and havent had problems. I do psi check weekly though. So basically your saying the 225/35/18 wont fit in the front even with camber it'll still rub? I have rolled fenders btw.
