Default Fitment question with over fenders

Looking for all the over fender guys help. Curious how my new wheels coming in will fit with over fenders in the rear. The rear wheels are 18x11 +39. I'm curious how wide of a tire i could go with with over fenders and if the wheels will poke out past an average over fender or if they will be flush or tucked in.

Offset is way too low even with overfenders. For reference a 17x9 +35 looks flush, while 17x9+22 has been done but requires shaving the fender flare and lots of camber. You are essentially moving it out two more inches. It's going to poke a lot. And with an 11" wheel you need a wider tire which makes it harder.

A 11" +39 will only stick out 1" compared to a 9" +39. I think it could definitely be done with overfenders but you might have a tough time fitting a wide tire like a 285/30 although the slight stretch would help.

Tire wise you could probably do a 275 or 265. Not sure which overfenders offer the most room but I am sure the vendors can help you with that. It may actually be better to take it to a shop that does custom body work and have them widen the oem metal. Post pics when you get the set up figured out!

As stated above you should be able to fit it with proper camber and a decent stretch, GLW Fitment sir
