Default Wheels To Small?

Does any one know the max tire width tha you can fit on an 18x9 wheel with a +22 offset? wondering if a 285/35 would fit.

We are racing on 18 x 9 fronts and 18 x 10 rear wheels and a 285/30 x 18 Kumho fits just fine. If you are in the market for wheels I might be able to help you.

Front will be close but you should be able to run those sizes front and back with that offset.

That is the same size I have only the offsets are different. (+22f and +15r).
I was running the nismos with a 285f and 315r, but the rear was to large for the wheel. (9.5).
