Default Need answer Fast

I just recieved my work S1's 18x8 +56 offset F 18x9.5 rear +62 offset. I'm gettin 265/35/18 nitto 555's for the back and 235/40/18 nitto 555's for the front. My car is going to be lowered on espilar/tien s-tech springs( havent made decision yet) Will the front tires fit with no rubbing issues?? I know the backs will fit im just scared about the front. TIA

I dont know the sidewall profile of the Nitto's but I see no point of running 235's for the front on this setup. Anyways I think you will rub due to the rim width and the tire size. The tire will have a ever so slight bulge to it, just my opinion.

I would go with a 225/40 front 255/35 rear. They are closer to the correct height and much more common size so price should be better as well as availability. You will be pushing bigger heavier wheels so try to minimize the perfomance loss.

ok they dont make the tires in a 225 size, so i was seeing if 235;s would rub, not looking to be super fast on these rims, i still got my stock rims. so will 235's rub or no???

They'll fit but if you do any hard driving or hit a decent bump I'd bet they will rub.

Where are you buying these BTW? I would pick a number of different tires that should have the correct sizes available.
