can peeps with the +18 back wheels take some clear pictures from the back of the car so I can see how the tires sit? I have seen one picture so far, but it was real dark so it was hard to make out the stance...
thanks
thanks

it did help a little.. I was looking for more of the stance from the back ... I am debating on 285 vs 275 tires on the back.. I like how it looks aggressive with the 285, but I am afraid it might be a tad bit too aggressive.. and before I fork out 1K on tires I want to make sure i like what I am getting.
with 275 the stretch doesn't look bad.. and may work better for me...
yeah, I know. I'm ****. =)

is it me, or does the 275 on the rear on the +18 look better? I was told you didn't have to roll the fenders if you went with this setup... and you did if you had the 285's... I don't have a problem rolling my fenders.. but the 285 almost makes the wheel look like it's sticking out too much..
I am debating on tires... I have the 19" 10.5 +18 for the rear and I feel like this is borderline with the look I want (flush with fender)..
anyone have any opinions on this?? I plan on buying my tires tomorrow and haven't yet decided between the 2.. If I had more pictures from behind it would help..

I was going with the same debate. But I opted for the 285's and I'm very happy with my descision. I even have extra tire to protect my rim in case I curved it. Go with the 285's, I promise it won't dissapoint you. It looks even better with a body kit.

but maybe if i lower the car a little bit more, i had to
personally, I don't like how 275's look on 10.5 wheels. It just looks too stretched for me. I would rather go 285's and a higher offset so the tire doesn't stick outside of the fender, not to mention having to cut em. If you go with 285's on the +18 offsets, they will stick out.

Actually 305/30-19 with 285/30-19 would make more sense on a 10.5" and 9.5" wheel. Wonder if anyone's tried it. Of course not with a retardedly low offset like I'm seeing all the time here.

Fronts would be just right. Rears would be stretched. Assuming 9.5F/10.5R
