I'm sort of in a spot. I'm going daily driver now and I don't want 19's. Keeping my track set up wheels which are 18 9.5 +15 (F) and 18 10.5 +18 (R) VOLK RE30. Tires for track are 235/40 (F) and 265/35 (R). These are old photos but I'm slightly lowered more and want to get rid of the gap. I'd like to just fill it in a little because where I live I can't ride that low. Just from looking and the offset mentioned above, does it look like I can fit a 255/40 or 45 (F) and a 285/40 (R)? Just to fill in a little.....

Before the new additions of coilovers/spacers no rubbing at all.
I'm actually lower now and added +15 spacers all around.
My offsets are + 3 F / + 5 R
I rub a very minimal amount, only if their is a dip in the road.
Here is current set up...

Also once last thing, what brand tires you buy has a huge impact on what will clear those fenders in the rear. Tires like Falkens tend to run narrow...and tires like BFG, Michelin, Nitto tend to run fat.
You don't necessarily need a 285/40R18 in the rear....you could buy a 275/40R18 from one of the "meatier" brands and get the same look (usually for cheaper).
Your wheels stick out about 0.37" more than those 18x10 +18 Work XD-9s already posted....so keep that in mind. I think a 285 might be pushing it unless you stick with the smaller diameter 285/35R18 which is really more of a track tire size that you're trying to get away from.

Thanks, still trucking along with her
18x9 +20 255/35/18 20lbs
18x10 +15 285/35/18 21lbs
yes fenders are rolled, with the power it really squats when I get on it, and now that I put the Nitto 555RII's it might finally hook
thanks, I like to go off the beaten path, first with the Advans which people hated or loved and now with these Weds, they are insane, and pictures really do not do them justice they are just beautiful
I am a dealer fo rthem if anyone wants any Weds, great wheels

My new wheels. 18x9 +30 and 18x10 +38 Work XD9 MBG color.
Tyres are 245/40/18 and 275/40/18 (Have 255 on photo, but have changed to 275 now)
Just installed yesterday, may need some spacer for rear...sadly car cant be lowered anymore as we have rough roads here down in New Zealand.
Also, is there a good vendor that sells work duralumin nuts that can send down to New Zealand for a good price?
I can pay paypal. Thanx
