I have found this, checking the space in my stock fenders, if I install on my RA
18X9 +30mm offset G-Force rims using 235-35-18, I could not have problems of rolling inside the fenders, I only need to modify the fenders to cover the tire.

Because between the stock tire 205 and the new 235 the difference is 30 mm,
but the stock offest is +46mm, when I use the new rims with offset +30mm this will reduce the distance between the tire and the fender inside avoid the rolling.

If I use in the new rims the offset of +35mm like the stock evo rims, I will have problems of rolling and more, then this is the cause the stock evo rims does not fit on RA or not? .

I found this link on other thread, is agreat tool:

These are the screen shoots about the two tires and more info:

You're thinking backwards. A +35 wheel will put the tire further OUT towards the fender, not further in. The lower the offset, the further out the wheel is.

I still don't get why people want to go +2 on our cars. With a 16x7 rim..... a 225 tire would be ideal.
Same with 17x7 rim....but have to go with a shorter sidewall.

Go ahead and try your plan, and you'll quickly understand what compromising drive-ability means.

But good luck to you.

Yeah you are right, I will try to implement the correct changes to not affect
my security and the performance of my RA.

Thanks for your comments and your Help!

Soo let me get this right. On a RA 225/35/17 would fit on 17x7.5 rims fine with out fender rolling. But may need a spacer?

A 225 is more likely to rub than not. However, each tire is different, since each manufacturer has their own weird idea of how big 225mm is.

Hahaha so its like take your own risk huh...well idk then i want that traction but i don't want to have rubbing. Maybe i'll just stick with my first idea of 215/45/17on a 17x7 rim. What tire size are you rolling on?
