Default Wheel fitment?

Just curious, how much work it would be to make these fit? I'm running downforce front fenders, so I'm assuming I shouldnt have an issue with the front, but what about the rears? Currently my rear are only rolled and running -3.5 for camber. The wheels I am looking at have a hefty price to em, so I would hate to place an order if its gonna be a pain to run.

It can be done with a bit of fender work and alot of camber in the rear. a buddy of mine is running 18x11.5-37 in the rear and he has minimal fender work done. but alot of camber and a 245 tire

Im looking to put an order in on a set of advan rz-df. I may go with the 18x10.5 +25 for rears if I decide to do rear over fenders. and bump the fronts up to 18x10 +35.

Probably can pull it off with the work you have done already but it depends on your tire size

Well, I don't want to have to run to much of a stretch on them. I would like to run 255's at the least. I may opt for asm rear over fenders and run a proper tire for the rear.

I don't know what you mean by proper tire sizes, but even with ASM overfenders, don't think you're going to be able to pull of 18 x 10.5 +25. There is a guy running 17 x 9.5 +22 with 265 and he had to do all kinds of work to fit that...shave the overfenders, run like -3.5 or -4.0. I think the 18 x 10 +35 would be more ideal.

I have 18x10+45 out back w 275/40 tires and -2.8 camber

if you go with a more s2000-esque profile, I don't think you'll have that much of a problem

Well when I say proper tire I just mean I don't want to run a 215/225 tire on that wide of wheel. I realize the ideal would be to go with the 18x10's all around, but I already have a set of 17x10's all around. Offsets are not as low. These would also not be daily wheels as these would be the 3rd set of wheels that I order. I'm just trying to get an idea of if I'll be able to run them or not, or if I'll need to go with rear overfenders.

if you want to be slammed and run semi-wide tires, then yes you will need rear overfenders
