Need help picking right size tires...
Like the title says, I need help picking the right size tires for my set up. Ill be running a set of MB Battles 18x9.5 +15 rims, 25mm spacers in the rear, 20mm spacers in the front. Car will be left at stock ride height. Looking for the widest tire I can run without having to pull or roll my fenders. Thanks!

I'd probably do 255/40 F and 275/40 R.
You could also do 265/35 square,
265/35 F & 265/40 R,
275/35 F & 275/40 R
Also, you probably wont need that large of spacers.. probably none for the front. Maybe a 10-15mm for the rear. Just wait and see.

If you want wide, don't install your spacers.

if you put that size space on the rear you will have the wheel and tire sticking past the fender, acid jake on here has same wheel and he sits flush with the fender

You can get Battles for $150 each, Rota for just over $200 each , Enkei 9.5's for $260 each and 10.5's for $300 each if you shop around.
I would save a few extra penny's and get Rota at minimum

Just an update, I installed the wheels the other day and I see what you guys mean about the spacers. I like how the front sits flush with the fender. I'm thinking of picking up a set of 15mm spacers for the rear to match the fitment up front. I ended up sticking to the factory spec tires 225/45 F and 245/45 R. Ill be running 255/40 F and 275/40 R once my tires go bold. I might have to roll the rear fenders when I make the switch to 275's. Thanks for the input guys.

I purchased the wheels from discount tire direct for $666 shipped. They had a $50 instant online discount.

The 275/40 rear may slightly rub in the rear at +15, once rolled you can install a 10 to 15mm spacer no problem.
