Yes, 18x9.5 +35 with 275/35R18 r888's. Just test fit last night and i need to do a little work to get them to clear. The front needed a 5mm spacer to clear the strut (bilstein hd's) and its touching the fender liner front and rear and is just touching the side skirt.







The rear fits well and i should need just a slight pull and roll or trim. Pic of the rear is with a ramp under the tire and the other 3 on the ground to compress it.





Ill update later in the week when i have time to start the mods and ill post up what i did to make them fit.

 

eh, the tire will make it's own clearance with the fender liner and sideskirt.

seriously though, nice setup.

 

I have some tricks up my sleeve for the liners, it should turn out nicely!

 

You'll need to also look on the inside wall on th fender, by the engine. At full lock it will rub there too. Also, dont forget to hammer or grind down the seam welds underneath the liners in the rear.

 

thanks, ill add that to the list. i also have to grind and smooth the seam on the rear trailing arms. it doesnt hit, but i can barely shove a piece of cardboard between it and the tire. 265's would be so much less work.

 

Yeah but, then you couldn't say, "I have 275/35/18's" Also, I used a lil spacer in the rear as I still got a little rub after I massaged the rear trailing arm.

 

I ran a 10mm in the front and a 3mm spacer in the rear of mine to get the 275-35/18 proxes 4s to fit on a 18x9.5 et35. Looks like the R888 must measure a little wider?

 

what size/offset wheels and model tire?

 

i dont have any other 275/35's to compare them to, but compared to a previous set of 265/35's on 9's the 275's buldge like all hell on 9.5's. they dwarf my 255/40R17 star specs obviously.

 

The Proxes 4 definitely didnt bulge much-

 

this one shows it pretty good.

 

Wow, yeah for sure. When I got those wheels and tires I still worked for a NW company that sells wheels/tires/suspension. R888 wasnt out then though, the RA1 doesnt bulge like that on a 9.5, the R888 is just burly I guess.

Then again maybe the RA1 did (dont have a rear profile shot like we have above)-

275-40-17 on a 9.5 5zigen GN+

 

yeah that looks pretty beefy. generally nitto/toyo are on the narrow side but their r comps are pretty big. btw, i was a shop manager for a huge custom wheel and tire store for 7 years, and donked out quite a few hood cruisers, this should be easy.

 

TC105's same 18x9.5 +35

The R888s measures like a 295 it seems.

If you get or make the LSD, you can put more negative camber in the rear too help with the fit...

 

maybe not as much with the stock rear shocks.
