Achually I'm not sure if thats going to work

 

With wider front and rear fenders maybe. It is still aggressive but depending on how many MM of extra clearance the kit provides it may fit. But at the same time they better be some killer wheels and not cheapo XXR garbage because instead of spending thousands of dollars on body work you could just buy wheels and tires that fit.

Finally I still question the need for running wheels and tires this wide unless your car is making some serious power. You can easily fit a 265 or 275 tire in the rear on a 10 inch wide wheel and if you buy a good tire it will provide more than enough grip.

"Achually" I may agree

We need an emoticon that has the hand wizz over the head in missing the joke look lol Oh well

And seems like everyone with average tires says they dont need wider ones with NA power... until they try them. There is a reason why you guys missed the turn on our last spirited drive and got lost

 

Lol I "achually" missed it because you aholes blasted ahead and left me behind the 20 mph minivan and I didn't know where you were stopping.

I am sure they feel good on the track or on a drive but can you really say the added weight and friction don't have an effect on normal driving? Also as you stated with an NA car does the average drives really benefit that much from the huge tires? I just kinda like playing devil advocate.

 

js front fender give extra 35mm and rear gives extra 25mm clearance. Also the car is supercharged vortech v2 at 418whp.
tyres wise i was looking at either federal rsr or a048 depending on the cost as a048 are pretty expensive in europe.

 

i have a seen a photo on this forum where this guy fitted te37 18x9.5 et22 with 255 40 17 all round without any rubbing issue on the same kit as i have got. I know the front wheels will be fine but i am slightly worried about rear wheel as its and the offset also the tyre size. i know 255 which is actually 260 fits fine all round. But i want to go staggered with the tyres mentioned in my earlier post at Front 18 x 9.5j et30-38 265/35 and Rear 18 x 10 et20-35

 

So technically if you had over fenders and wider front fenders you could run 11.5 +43 in the rear and 20mm lower offset in the front right?

With an honest 25mm additional outer clearance with an over fender then yes you would be good to go for rear fitment with that offset/width and 295. and you would be correct that you would need 20mm more inner clearance to fit the inside up front with the same width rim. However I wouldn't choose to do that personally, you would have a much wider total track width (40mm)vs the rear to make it fit (assuming you had front fenders that would even accommodate 45mm over stock) To me is would look weird having the front stick out that much more over the rear, nor would it handle ideally if you care about your cars higher level of performance. Keep that in mind when you are choosing a wide body or over fender addition. If it were me i'd go with a bit of a stagger keeping the outer track width the same or slightly more aggressive in the rear. If you are going with a 25mm rear over fender then I would do a 25mm front fender and then go with a 10.5" +30 with 265/35. I would also go with an 18" vs 17" since the 295/35/17 is currently discontinued and may or may not be back, so you will have more options in 18" in the future. Here is what your fitment looks like/

whew!

 

Very cool. I have decided to save myself the hassle lol..probably going with a square setup(cheapo tire swapping)and stick with some 17x9.5 +22's on some 255 or 265/40's..but its def something I wouldn't mind seeing done..of course with enough power to back it up.

Thnx for the quick response!
