The Official Wide Tire Thread
Can anyone help me out or give me any advise. My car rubs on every bump on the highway and is making me nuts. I love my wide tires but I don't know what else to do. I'm running my 04 evo with RPF1'S 18x9.5+15 with 265/35/18 tires. I already rolled and pulled the rears and running camber -1.8 and -1.3 rear on stock springs in the rear and Hotchkis springs in the front. Is there anything I can do other then changing my tire size. Maybe someone can tell me where I can cut my rears but don't know where. Help plzz
Alright fellas I need some help from the experts in here. I found a deal on some 18 x 10s with a 28 offset. Im thinking Id like to run a 275/35 tire and was wondering how much it would take to run this. Is the offset to little?

You're about 10mm too low offset to fit that easily in the rear, and that's all fender. You're going to need the usual roll and or cut, rear bumper bolt relocation, trim or remove front fender liners, trim front fender side of side skirt flange, and PULL your rear fenders a lot. Or use overfenders.
what tires? as far as clearance, look here. its rub city and will need a lot of work but it can be done. not an amateur job. look at my post on the top of page 13.

I dont mind rolling the the fenders but I get nervous when I need to start pulling. I guess I need really think about it. What about running a 265 tire?
I run GTC01's, 18x9.5 +38 with 275/35-18 NT555 on all four corners with no fender mods and no rubbing. Lowered on GTWorks springs and stock MR bilsteins with suspension settings recommended by Andrew. I have also ran Toyo T1R's in the same size with no rubbing. FWIW.
So either you don't turn your wheels, don't turn your car at speed, you're not aware that you're rubbing, or you're full of ****.
i've ran 18x9.5 +38 nt03's with 265/35/18's and it rubbed on the skirts and on the pinch weld. That was on oem shocks/works springs & skunk2 pro-c's & on ohlin dfv's.
So either you don't turn your wheels, don't turn your car at speed, you're not aware that you're rubbing, or you're full of ****.
