Will these clear the calipers? (narrow wheels)
WED SPORT 18x8" et42 offset 5x114.3 bolt pattern, center bore = 67.1mm comes w/ hubcentric rings for 60.1mm hub
These are more narrow than stock for ice rally use. Just wondering if they'll clear the calipers. ??
Thanks.

NTO3 18x10.5 +30
Just installed these bad boys on my week old EVOX.
Got 275/35 Star Spec on them on a stock suspension. They fit quite well in the front with maybe 3 to 4 MM of space between the tire bead and the strut/spring perch. Just a touch of rub on the fender liner at full lock under compression. The rear would definitely rub the fender without rolling if I were lowered.
These massive meats has excaberated the roll of the stock suspension. Definitely will be getting swaybars installed. By the way the stock tires are for sale.
I know they look a little monster truckish but I live in NYC and like the fact I can plow through city streets unlike my lowered EVO8.
only 450 miles on the car

Hey guys thanks for the interest.
My mistake I mis-typed.
cpunlamd - Yes they are 275/35's not 30's. Edited first post. And yes they wheels are being saved for some Blizzak usage.
Bighec - this is a fantastic setup. I first saw them on Vorshlag's EVOX and was afraid it wouldn't work for a daily driver. The 10.5's are on the extreme spectrum but are still very practical. So glad I took the plunge.
Brokenevo - the tires are for sale. Unfortunately I have only received out of state offers. Still looking for local pickup if possible.
Homewerk - They fit with no spacers what so ever and I think this is because I am on stock suspension. I would think that coilovers which have lower spring perches than stock, would rub.
this is the tight clearance between the tire and strut.
Finally got around to rolling the rear fenders today. Looking to lower her in the next few weeks with some springs.

LOL...good to hear they work on stock struts without spacers
too bad once you upgrade to a fatter shock body (aka coilovers)....you'd have to run a spacer
or do coilovers run skinner bodies than stock shocks? haha i forgot
