Default How wide can I go with 18's

Im running 215/40/18 18x7.5 +50 in the front and 235/40/18 18.8.5+47 in the rear.. I was wondering how much wider i can go with out rubbing .. I know there is a lot of people running 225 in the front 245 in the rear.

cant really tell how lowered you are in that pic.....but it doesnt look like much.....i pretty sure you can run the 225/245 combo without rubbing or very minimal rubbing........if you roll the fenders you'll have no problems

oh well in that case i think, the tire setup you have now is the best you can do, unless you wanna run rolled fenders and a lil more neg. camber

if your fenders are rolled and the tab bracket are alreasy bent up, with that amount of camber you can run up to a 265 width tire but that wide of a tire on a 8.5 wheel is going to buble out. I suggest you run 255 with in the back with 225 front.
