I have a customer of mine running our V710s in 19x9.5 +22/19x11 +25 with similar tire specs and he's done some rolling and a slight pull to make them fit. No reported issues after the fender work though. I imagine it will all depend on your alignment at that point, and how much fender work you are planning on doing.

 

Yea my main concern is I dont want to have to do a pull or cut plastic etc. I want to just roll the fenders and everything roll smooth. I could go with the 275 or 285 35 rear and 245 35 front but I was looking for something with no stretch.

 

Check out the fat tire thread. And PM members with any tire set up questions.

255/285... no stretch look at all, 245/275... little stretch look but this depend on the brand of tire b/c some brand have bulkier sidewall than others.

Ok thanks man I will do that. I'm sure someone is running that setup.

 

I ran a very similar setup, except +22 instead of +17/18. Front fit fine without issue, rears were barely flush at -1.5 camber. Dropped about 1.2". Rear was rolled completely flat which naturally gave me a few mm of pull.

Tires were pirelli p-zeros, which seem to run wide.

 

^^those rear tires are sexxx

 

nothing major , will fit with the normal roll , nothing else needed.

 

Thanks Trav and Terrasmak for the info. I also heard that Hankooks run wide compared to Falken or Toyo. I might want to consider another brand in that case if I stick with that tire size.

 

^^ you will be fine with a roll , I am on 19x11 +25's with a 305/30 hankook v12 no rubbing, lowered on GF210s.

 

Yes the RS3 runs wide, the V12 is just another tire.

 

+1

RS3s run pretty wide, especially compared to the Ventus V12. I'd say the V12s run pretty "true to size".

 

I know my R888's are FAT! Wsh I had a "normal" summer tire 305 to compare to.

 

Thought I would throw this in for the flames, I am buying new wheels so I can have a "summer" set and a "winter" set and I was thinking of going 18X8.5 Front and 18X10 rear, will this **** things up or is this not going to cause a problem being such a large stagger? I know the factory was off by .5" front to rear and you have to keep a 3% change in the sizes +/- to keep the VDC happy, but if anyone knows the formula to do math (or if its super simple and I am just retarded) let me know? I want to say this will be a 245 on the front and a 285 rear? I have some 19x8.5 now all around and they are all 245/35/19 and that doesn't mess up the VDC at all, which by some threads I have found it should. Just trying to get as wide a wheel in the back as I can for now, just for giggles really. Fear not, I brought a flame resistant suit and I can put it on if need be.

Edit:! Also the offset? I am not real clear on how this works but what should the offset be for these size wheels? Ill go back to the front and read because I think it did mention +15- +25 would work in the 18s but I am really not sure how to figure this out on my own. Perhaps if I could be pointed towards a "How to understand wheel offsets" thread?

 

8.5" no way

 

So 18x8.5 front 18x9 or 9.5 rear? I did find a guy with 19x9 and 19x10.5 if my primitive math is correct, that is the same distance from a 8.5-10 is it working for him for any particular reason? I am dropping down to 18's for convenience on my part so the 10" thing isn't necessary, just a thought.

And those sizings are weak for this thread. There are guys running 10" & 10.5" wide front wheels with 305's squared.

 

Well how do you get a 10" wheel in the front? I imagine it would be one hell of a spacer in there or you are losing steering. Only reason I was looking at 18x8.5 for the front is because the wheels I was looking at only went out to that size before jumping to 10s. Thanks for the link though.

 

Camber and offset play a huge role in determining fitment, not just width. 10" up front is common, but 9.5 is the norm. Keep it simple and run the standard 9.5 front 10.5 rear with +15 to +22 offset, 255 front and keep your 285 rear. Done.

 

my 10.5" wheel up front turns well on 245-295/35

 

I'm running 18's. 9.5 front and 11 rear with ZERO issues. 245-40 front, 275-40 rear.
I'm looking for a tire to fit so the sidewall wont be so rediculous. Not really wanting a major "stretch", just something to add a lil aggression.
