Quick advice from anyone. Im not lowered yet. I just got a call about a great deal on brand newgood year f1s I think 255/35 for 100$ installed. My only thought will it look stupid bc of more huge wheel gap?

Great question - missing a lot of pertinent information.
1. I assume this is for a 19" diameter wheel?
2. Will these be front or rear tires?
3. What is the width and offset of the wheels they will be mounted on? (the wheel gap is most prominent with an aggressive offset.)

255/35/18 on an unlowered car will have a big gap (25" tall compared to 26" stock front and 26.7" stock rear). If it's a 19, that will be ok.
Ask for the tire's production date. If they are new and that cheap, age may be the reason.
I'm going fat tire... tired of the stretched look plus I'm aiming at 500whp, so I need more grip.
My wheels are: 18x10 +18 (all around)
-Tires
Front: Sumitomo HZR III 265/35/18 F, no spacers
Rear: Sumitomo HZR III 265/35/ 18 R, 15mm Spacers ( I think, but it sits flush)
-Replacement Tires
Front: Nitto NT-05 265/35/18 F
Rear: Nitto NT-05 285/35/18 R
Spacers: ???
The ideal set-up I was going for was:
255/40/18 F (3mm spacer)
275/40/18 R (10mm spacer)
However, I have a set of NT-05s with barely any use in my storage unit, and I see no reason why not to try them first before ordering 4 new tires >.<. I'd like to stay flush, and I know that the profile in the front tires will be very similar (tho I'm hoping the nT-05s look meatier on the front). Any spacer recommendation for rear? 10mm?
^^^Depends on if your fenders are rolled and/or pulled at all...I run 19x11 +25 with a 10mm spacer on 285/35/19 fine...but my fenders are rolled and slightly pulled...
