The Ultimate Aggressive Wheel Thread...
Bryant I love the CE's on there 
just makes me wish I could have got them instead of you 
o well. I will get some wheels later on.
R/TErnie - I am pretty sure on stock body there is no way of fitting 285's on these wheels.
Now if you had the EvoDave fender Mod on the front and Flared out the rear HARD CORE or did Voltex Rears then I can see and say that 285's would work. Bryant's car is already rubbing on his 245's and 285's are over a inch and a half wider so probably not going to work for you unless you are wider with the body first
GL tho man

First off, car looks really good. Wheels really kill it with your clean lines. Love this shot. Only complaint is the stretched rubber. With wheels that wide I feel that you need some wider fenders up front or even do the front fender-mod like I did. Custom rear fenders are a must in the rear too. 245's shouldn't even be an option on 10.5"s IMO.
Now with that said, wheels are aggressive as all FFUU
CCKK
+18 10.5's? you got ***** son!

245 isn't that bad of a stretch 
I personally would have done a 255 if I had those exact wheels but I don't rub like he does or have stock body. One of his last Set ups was a 9.5 with 225's on it I think these 245s are actually pretty wide for what they are. I would have thought they would have been more stretched to be honest. But To Each His Own
I LOVE THIS THREAD

I tuck 285's on a 9.5" rim...I'm just not getting the widest tire footprint that I could running that wide of a tire on that narrow of a rim. My thought was to stagger the wheels (10.5F, 9.5R) and run the same size tire F+R. Its a stretch, but I think I'll need wide front fenders to attempt.

I've seen plenty of guys going 225 or 235 on my same rims and ask why??? Is the extra dump worth not being able to drive it hard?
I'm only at 1.2 camber out back.
And NO I DON'T RUB. EVER.
roll, pull, grind, sand...
I made the TIRES fit, not the wheels.
Get some custom work done if you want them scrilla rims to fit!

[QUOTE=Boostfiend;8578385]Moar pics. No, the car isn't hellaflush and its not raised to fit the wheels either. It's corner balanced and if I changed the ride height it would handle worse. I went more for hellafunctional than flush, criticism is welcome though. Spring rates: Front 14kg/mm Rear 16kg/mm. -2.00 camber in the front -1.50 in the rear.
I am sorry to be a naysayer but who corner balanced your car!?
I really dont think they knew what they where doing.... Actually it looks like someone who thought they knew what they where doing. It seems what they tried to do was try to get as much weight on the rear by keeping the rear up like that to get a better F/R weight distribution going on. This doesnt work and will most likely just make the cars rear snappy and unpredictable.
Overall the rear could come down probably an full inch or more and the front a half an inch. The car as it sits is running way to much rake.
With those high spring rates you can actually run the car slightly lower as well because they will minimize body roll and thus minimize roll center movement and negative camber gain that arises with a lowered car.
edit: actually the fronts are about perfect after a second look the rear needs alot of work to take the rake out of the chassis.

Dood, come on, it's a stretch. I've got 255 Star Spec's on a 9.5" and I think it's almost flush with the rim.

hahah.I never updated with my newer setup(225/40/18, +5mm spacers for +15 offset), which is getting ditched for something a bit more aggressive. We can't all ball like stunnrstatus!! CCW = 2sexy
