18x9+25, 18x10+25 as Wide as Possible
I have Work Meister S1 3p.
Spec.
F: 18x9 +25
R: 18x10 +25
What's the widest tire size that I can mount on this spec. wheels without rubbing, rolling, any modifications? I was thinking 255/35 on front and 295/35 on rear.
I have a 04.5 Touring Roadster. Stock tire sizes were 225/45/18 & 245/45/28 but that doesn't really help. Anyone knows the stock wheel spec. for my Z including the offset numbers? Then I can use one of those fancy offset calculators to find out myself.
Thanks.

Don't u think that profile is too low? I don't mind my speedometer gets throw off but that will also make my odometer read about extra 69 miles higher for every 1000 actual miles I run...

I think I should go 255/40/18 and 285/40/18, sounds good?

A 295/35/18 on a 10" +25 rim will rub unless the lip is rolled. I have a 295/30/19 on a 10" +25 wheel and it will rub with camber in spec.
For a 9" +25 front wheel a 275/35/18 tire is the one to go with. 255 is too narrow. I am running a 275/30/19 front on a 9" +22" tire and it fits perfectly with no rubbing.

In relation a 10" wide wheel with a +25 will give another 3mm of clearance on the fender size. The OP should have NO issue running a 295 if his 10" wheel is a +25 offset
