Can I get away with 18x10.5 +22 Gramlights 57xtreme w 265/35/18 w/o rolling the rear fenders? I understand once I lower the ride hight I will need to.
I was trying to figure this out with my 18x10.5+22 TE37SLs w/ 275s...
I can tell you I had 3 wheels on the ground and one rear wheel on maybe 6" of blocks, plus two adult men in the back and about 300 lbs in the trunk. I couldn't compress the suspension on my MR enough to hit.
But, once I unbolted my shock and moved the hub up by hand, I could get it to hit.
So, at stock height I'd say you're fine, lowering maybe an inch or more (?) you'll need a roll in the rear. This is just my opinion, but might be good enough for whatever you're looking for.

i posted about this exact size a few posts ago and in a few different spots. I got the wheels looking for a tire prob going with the 265 nitto but haven't found many that rub even with a decent drop leaving bout 2 finger gap between the tire and the wheel only a few people said they had a rubbing issue but that with weight in the back ones with a lower drop rub
I've got a GSR on Swift Spec Rs. I've got a cracked stock GSR wheel on 22mm spacers and I'm looking to get a second set of wheels (to run without the spacers) so I can stop doing the summer/winter tire swapping dance on a single set of wheels.
I'm looking to run the 285 30 18 RE-11. TireRack lists the tread width for this tire as 10" using their standard approach for measuring tread width. Since I've taken this article (http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticl...RFORMANCE.aspx) to heart, I'm on the fence between a 10.5 +15 or a 10" +18 wheel. 10.5 +18 seems like the perfect 10.5 offset (less poke and enough front clearance for Ohlins coilovers), but I can't seem to find quality cast wheels in that fitment so I'd rather go +15 so I don't have to run a spacer down the road because of coilovers.
Fender rolling tools are fired up and ready to go with either route.
Future purchase of coilovers (Ohlins R&T) is planned once the Bilsteins die.
Any thoughts or advice? Which wheel width will make this tire happiest (function)? I'd like to have a wheel/tire setup that I can grow into with regard to auto x. Something tells me the 10" +18 will be the most flexible wheel size to experiment with different tire brands sizes and set ups than the 10.5.

I have 18x10.5 +22 w/ 275 Michelin Pilot Super Sports. At stock height, they probably wouldn't rub unless you had a FULL car. I had 2 people in the back and one wheel up on about 6" of blocks and it didn't hit.
I since lowered the car about 1.5" all around (Toda Fightex) and I rolled the rears. No pulling or anything, wasn't a major issue. I haven't really noticed any issues, but I am running stiff springs (12k front/10k rear) and I never have more than 1 person with me. I'm still at stock camber too.
I would say 265s would be no problem at all, lowered or not. They will be stretched though. The 275s are a little stretched even. 285 or 295 seems like it would be "box".

My 18x10.5 +22 w/ 275s definitely had some poke at stock height. Lowering the car 1.5" helped, but there is still poke at stock camber settings. It's slight, enough to look aggressive without being dumb-looking, IMO. Negative camber would help.
+15 will be really poking out there. I wouldn't be happy with it, but that's just me. I was a little nervous about my +22s when I installed them, to be honest. A lot of guys run this size in +15 though, so to each their own.
cosmis sells this rim in 18x9.5 with 10mm offset, was planning on getting four 5mm soacers all around but i was wondering if anyone knows if they will clear the stock brembos on the evo x safe. I cant seem to find anyone with these rims however i know the xt-206r wont clear and its a similar rim. Any help? (I posted earlier but i guess it was on the wrong spot)
I'm trying to find out if I can run some 6x5.5 rims I found on on lancer. Any chance the Montero hub can be retrofitted? They fit the Montero Sport. I might be in the wrong thread. Please help!
Does anyone know if this would be a good fitment for the Evo 10; BLAQUE DIAMOND® - 20 x 9.0 BD-23 Gloss Black with SS Lip more details on - https://www.carid.com/blaque-diamond...-92176230.html. I know I would have to make some mods to inner wheel well, but will coilovers cut it or bagging it out be the better choice? Second I wanna have a stretched tire on wheel anyone have any suggestions on brand and tire size?
I am really not looking to roll my fenders but would do so if needed. I searched both the XXR thread and this one for anyone running 558's and I dont see anyone with them.
I am about to be lowered on Swift Mach Sport Lowering Springs.
Looking to go with 18x9.75 19mm offset on 265/35/18 tires. If anyone is running this setup did you roll your fenders and did these wheels clear the calipers. Would like to know ahead of time so I can plan to have it done or not
