Can I run a 18X9.5 +20 rim with either a 245(or 255)/35/18 tire?? I don't want to get my fenders flared, rolled or cut - and I don't want the tires to rub.

details:
I just put an order in for Work Emotions (CR Kai):
F: 18X8.5 +20
R: 18X9.5 +20

The tires I was going to get were BFG KDW:
F: 245/35/18
R: 275/35/18


...but the front rims won't be in until next month, while the rears are in stock...

I have an '05 Enthusiast w/ Hotchis springs (lowered about 1").

**I searched for several hours but couldn't find anyone with the same set-up (I found some ppl with the same front rim/tire combo, but no info on if they had springs/coilovers)


thanks!!

I would go for 255/35/18 in front, and 265/35/18 in rear.

 

im sorry... what is wrong with the normal 245/40 275/40?

 

from what I've read, a 245 can fit a 9.5" rim width - but it's streched.

I just want to know if a 18X9.5 +20 rim with either a 245/35/18 or 255/35/18 tire and a 1" drop will rub. IS anyone running a similar set-up and can say if this rubs???

(The roads around here are nice and there's not too many potholes, so I don't mind going with a 35 profile if it'll give me a bit more room for clearance.)

thanks!

 

245/40 and 275/40 will fit fine with no rubbing. Those offets aren't that aggressive in those widths, you won't have any issues.

 

245 front 275 rear

 

245 is going to look ridiculous on a 9.5 inch wheel

255 is your best bet

if you are lowered, you WILL be rolling your rear fenders if you run KDW's
