Damn it looks very very good but couldn't you have ran a lil more of a strech on the tires? What size tires are those and what brand? The reason I ask is because certain tires strech better than others and some have rolled edges and some are square.

This is what I use to figure out my offsets and wheel size and then I figure out the tires after:

Hopefully these will help some of you guys if you are trying to figure out a good wheel set up for your car.

That's a nice set up. I was looking into almost the same size and offset but what I was going to do was a 18x9.5 +25 with 235 30. The Pirelli P zeros strech pretty good but I was going to go with the Yokohama S drives or something similar because they are more rounded and strech really good. I had them on my last set up when I had my G35 and they never gave me any issues and I had a way more of a strech than what I'm looking into.

Either way bro, Your car looks really really good. I think is the best looking Sportback out there right now. Good job so far. What's next on the list for it?

If i was to run some wider 18's with 225 or 235 tires, what offset and rim width would i need to run without having to flare the fenders.

Do you want to roll your fenders or not touch them at all? The reason I ask is because if you don't want to roll your fenders then stick to the stock size, width, and offset that way you know that they'll fit. Here's a guide on what that is:
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/09...s-fitment.html

on there you'll see some different set ups that have work so far and just go off that. What I'm trying to do with my car is something a lil more aggressive that what's one there so I'm going to have to measure everything and go to my buddy's wheel shop and test fit a lot of stuff so it's going to take me a while to get the finished product but hopefully that helped you out a lil bit.

i wouldnt mind rolling them, thats the most i would do, planning on running some lowering springs also. So the 225 or 235 can fit?

Either one of those tires should fit no problem but how wide of a rim are you wanting to run? it all depends on how wide of a rim you want to run. Also you have to think about the clearence on the inside. If you run too wide of a rim with out the right offset then it might hit your strut. The best thing I can tell you is measure everything and if you have a rimshop near your house then see if they will let you test fit some on your car because .5 inches could be the difference between fitting and not fitting.
