Are both the front and rear +45 offset? If so, maybe a 215 up front and a 245 in the rear. We just mounted a set of 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 Equips with +41 Offset (Shine Auto Front Fenders, Rear Over fenders) Front: 225/40/18 Rear: 255/35/18

hi, I also need help with what tires size do I need for 18x8 +40 front and 18x9 +40 rear.. Do I have to completely change the fender or fender rolling is good enough to help these babies fit?

from what i am being told is i need to get 215/40/18 front and 245/35/18 for the rear. i got my fenders rolled last night so just waiting on tires now.. i think you would be ok with just a fender roll as well.

It sounds like you both should be fine with some fender rolling and a little negative camber. Now, lets see those wheels mounted!
