Default Widebody setup

I just got some 18 x 12 -5 offset basically what would be a good tire size with no stretch and do you think circuit garage fenders would work with these wheels ?

short answer is no. I still think you at its limit you need to be +10-+20 I think. I’m sure the experts in this area will have a more precise answer on offset.

Pretty sure you need 315's on there but yeah I don't think the CG fenders will cover this. Maybe the M&M kit does?

20-25mm too aggressive for 75mm/cg fenders. You need to be +15-20 with a 12" wheel. m&m is supposed to be 100mm over stock so that would work.

315 on a 11.5" wide wheels sits pretty square. on a 12" there will be a slight stretch but its a great/ideal combination. Up to a 12.5" is spec range for a 315.

He just explained how they would sit with the CG flares. The M&M kit would actually cover them . The CR flares won't.

Yep, poking out about an inch. It would look like a Mexican swap buggy. You need +100mm over fenders minimum on this car in the rear to cover 12" -5.
