18x10 +25 with 285 rear is no problemo. Same for the front, though you could go 275 instead.

I would love to roll, but cant find anyone in the area I trust.

Being cautious is smart, I've seen some bad fender rolls. Mine aren't touch either, and I'm always trying to squeeze more tire.

borrow a fender roller and a heat gun and TAKE YOUR TIME. I had zero experience rolling fenders, but I took my time and made sure the fender/paint was hot and then made gradual passes. I didn't fold the lip flush to the inside of the fender but got it out of the way because I was fearful of cracking paint. Believe me, once you do it(and do it right), you're going to thing that you got worked up for nothing. Or if you are ever in Northwest Ohio, stop by and check out my fenders and I'll roll them myself lol

Depending on where you are in PA there is a shop called Area 1320 in Easton, PA that rolled my rear fenders. They did a great job

There are a few great shops here in MD for fender rolling as well. One of the local g35 guys has his own roller and does peoples. He does great work as well.

Not sure how far you are though :-/

Sorry guys for not posting more pictures but I didn't like the look and next morning I took the tires off and went back to my old style so now I got no use for this 305/35. They got full insurance and only drove them 5 miles. They will replaced both for u without a pictures or nothing they got full coverage.

Thought to give u guys dips before I post for sale!


Shoot me a pm if interested

Manny

Replacing my 285/35/19 Invo's with these on the plus +12 Volks. Should be pretty close to the prior setup, right? I don't mind rolling and pulling a bit more if I have to. Stayed with the same size in the front, but swapped those Invo's over to the Advan's as well.

I wish I was brother but I will be honest, hands down on handling. I did mess with them the five miles back home and i did felt the huge difference so no doubt fat tires are beast! but i will be running almost no camber this year in the rear with 285/35 on the rear even though it is not enough meet for my 18x12, it is enough to slide ...

BUT I do want to have a fat tire set up soon just with different wheels for some street/track fun. My current drift spares are way too aggressive in the negative offsets to use fat tires.
