he's saying on the fenders

I'm tempted to order 275s just to say I fit em with that low of an offset. I need to talk to one of the tire fitting guru's around here....

Your wheels will be in transit soon, can't wait to see the new Grids on your ride

Fitment as you know will depend on a lot of variables. 255/35/18 is a nice fit with just a slight sidewall stretch and will still work on stock fenders as long as they are rolled. I'd say 255/35/18 was the right call after looking at this picture A 265/35/18 would have sat just a bit outside the fender and would definiately rub at your current ride height/alignment. With more camber and a slight fender pull it is definiately possible to fit though.
