Based on the OP's pics, it looks like it would require a pretty aggressive roll and pull of the rear fender to fit a 305 tire... unless you run a ridiculous amount of camber.

 

OP whats the offset on your wheels?

 

Fender pull? like they do on baja trucks. AKA the cheep way out

 

do u have any traction or power reasons to go with such a wide tire, other than ... just to say u got 305s?

 

^^
He said his previous 275s were stretched that's why he went bigger..

But yeah a lot of people put like 275s or 285s on stock 8in. wheels..thinking they get more grip, but what the morons don't realize is that they are adding an overkill amount of rubber that adds more weight with no power to back it up..

If they can't get traction it's because they don't know how to effectively put power to the ground, they basically suck at driving.

 

I just ordered some 305/35/18 Mickey thompson radials...I have 18x10" with +45 offset on works XD9...will i have the same problem?

 

no

 

At worst you may need to add a spacer because it rubs the suspension. As far as I know nobody has tried that width/offset before.

 

SO..It wont stick out too far though right?!...I can add spacer as long as I dont have to buy whole new set of rims..

 

You are definitely ok on it not sticking out too far. 18x10(or 10.5) with +35 seems to be the sweet spot for a 305. But, it requires rolling the fender lip.

 

yes sir

 

No, not at all. IIRC my iForged 19x11 (pics on page 1 of this thread) are +35 offset. I'm thinking you'll need a spacer so they don't rub the suspension.

 

Thanks for the info...am excited about some mickeys...haha

 

Enjoy. Once I wear through my Bridgestones, I'm putting on some Toyo R888's.

 

Your going to have problems on the inside. Did you already have these wheels on the car?

 

yea I have them on now with 275/40/18 BFG

 

If you take off your wheel you will notice that the wheel hits the plastic cover on your shock. If you ever decide to go with coilovers you will need to add a 10-15mm spacer.

 

I have no idea. Had it lowered when I bought it and an aligment set to factory specs done at that time. Then the springs settled, then I did the spring mount chop for another 1/2" drop and never had it aligned, since it sticks and handles so good and the tires wear evenally.

Most all of my driving is twisty stuff.

I have about 7/8" gap in the rear and had to tweak the lip up a tiny bit. It does graze the rubber stock shock boot at times but doesn't hurt anything.

 

Looks fine to me, if your going to lower the car, roll the fenders and your set. Mines at -2, it looks and drives perfect.

 

Agreed! 275FR/305RR (on 19s, no rubbing, all stock)







Not true.

Again not true. I have had 18x10 +43 and 18/19x10.5 +43 with a stock set-up and no issue. I've since added a 15mm spacer to push the 305-combo more flush with the fender, but it worked in both locations (i.e. with and without the spacer).
