Plz bare with me - Wheel/Tire Fitment (18x9&18x10)
Need help guys . I've been trying to figure out the best wheel/tire/offset sizes for my car, I have zero experience setting up wheels, what would you all recommend based on the following? (btw, AdeJong03's 04 MOOOOONROCKkKK Build was an inspiration for me https://www.s2ki.com/forums/automoti...-build-868309/)
What I have/purchased
Cosmis XT-005R
18x9 +25mm
18x10+20mm
Shine Spoon Front Fenders +20mm
J's Racing Rear Over-fenders +40mm
Megan racing coilovers 12k/12k
What I would like (meaty tires)
Front, greater than or equal to a 255 (35?40?45?)
Rear, greater than or equal to a 265 (30/35/40?)
Wheel preferences – Ventus V12 Evo2 (recommend something in a similar price that might be better?)
What tire specs would ya recommend so I don’t run crazy camber or spacers, I don't want to rub while hard cornering? (is this even possible?)
.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks fellas

Front should be ok on 255.. rear offset is a little aggressive but 265 should be ok. Stock camber adjustment front and rear should get you enough camber.. somewhere around -3* all around will be fine. I'm sure others will chime in to either confirm or correct what I'm saying

This is a question you should have asked yourself (or us) before buying the wheels. Ideally, I would want at least a 285 rear with a +40 fender fitment but you don't have the wheel width/offset to support that. I can't really comment on the clearance, but the best tire combo might be 255/35, 265/35.
Maybe a 275/35 rear? Diameter would be oversized though and width is probably pushing the clearance limit. Again, this all depends how much clearance you have. Might even have to step down to a 245/35 front. Low offset of wheels even with the wider fenders is hurting your available choices.

Thanks for the info/input guys (@Jpembry & 1nate7)
I purchased the wheels after reading "Moonrocks2k" build, he ran 18x9.5 +30 265/35 front and 18x9.5+15 275/35 rear, so being a noob I convinced myself that 18x9+25 fronts is do able since the width is 1/2 inch smaller, making up the difference of the +30 to +25. The 18x10+20 rear I felt would be possible with 265/35 but I'm unsure of how much camber I'm gonna have to run.
Anyone else have experience fitting low offset with the Spoon fenders?
