255/35/18 with +29 offset??

Will 255/35/18's fit on 8" Volk GT-U's with +29 offset without rubbing? I know 255's fit stock wheels but my offset is what's throwing me off. Thanks

I'm running that exact size wheel now. SSR 18x9 D5R's with a 29 offset. Had Goodyear 255/35/18 F1's on them until recently. No rubbing at all, and I'm sporting the WORKS Ride lowering springs for the MR.

Go for it.

Thank you! I was going to get Falken RT-615s in 245's, but with 255's it'll be Dunlop SP Sport 9000 unless I find they're not good on our cars. Thanks again

what suspension are you running that's kind of an important factor

^ arent they yokohama avs es100's? And they're not advans... 255 wide should be fine unless you're slammed, my 265/35/18 rub slightly on an 18x9 +32mm offset (stock ride height)

you shouldnt have any problem running a 255/35 on your 18x8's even with a lowered stance.
