It'll be closed depending on brand and how low you are


I run a 285 and kinda low and it's very very close to the suspension arm (light marl from actually touching) and basically on my fender up front. And I'm +22 on 10.5



My track wheels will be 18x9.5 with a 275

I'm currently running Yoko AD08r 295/30-18 on 18x10.5 +15 and man the tire is super close to the inside arm. (front)


(295/30-18)

I have new wheels on order and it's specs are 18x10.5 +18 and im almost 100% positive that ill have to run a 3mm spacer for my tire to clear my inner arm.

Also,
I previously ran 275/35-18 and i had no issues. (18x10.5 +15 wheels) and i felt i was pretty low.

So I scored for cheap a set of track v.1 18" rims! I was wondering which tire size would be recommended? I've been thinking of 245/40 front and 265/40 rear? I wouldn't be opposed to a "square" set up, I've never tried on the Z but heard it's a good option.

I'm on stock suspensions/springs.

C-West all the way. Their fitment right out of the box is on point, worth the extra $.

Default Tire gurus, help needed!

Kk, on a budget right now and I need some sticky tires.

Federal RSR's have my attention BUT the biggest size they offer is a 285/30/18

If I run that on a 10.5 square set up, will I have any problems?

I'm currently running 265/35/18 and 285/35/18
