Default quick tire and offset combo question

hey,
i jsut got a great deal on some nice wheels.

i was initially getting 18x9 with a 45+ offset (rears) and was gonna put on 255 tires in the back, so was gonna roll the fenders.


now these new wheels are 48+ offset by 9.5 can this fit a 265/35 tire and would i still need to roll fenders?

thanks much.

You will definitely need to roll the fenders and possibly add a little negative camber to make that fit. Personally, I would stick with 255 width tires.

your 9.5s would stick out an extra 3 mm from where your 9s would've sit, so you would need more, if any, mods to your fender to fit them on, so i would also stick with 255s.
