Will 255/40/18 tires on 18x8.5 volk te37 time attack wheels with 30mm offset. fit on a Evo IX MR without rubbing? With 2 inch drop...

 

you'll get rubbing on your front liner if you're that low. If you take it out you'll be okay, not sure about hard cornering. It depends if you are going to do coilovers or lowering springs.

 

coilovers..and ill be getting 10 mm wider front fender.

 

ill be gettign seibon carbon 10 mm wider front fenders... and ill probably roll the rears... my question is. will there be downsides to rolling fenders to run 255 wide?

 

One downfall to rolling fenders- if it isnt done carefully and correctly it could damage the paint on your fenders

 

I was going to post the same question. I have the same volks 18 x 8.5. Not sure of the exact offset but assume its about +30 (kinda flush). Im between 245's and 255's. Im currently lowered on Swifts and have gotten rubbing w/ my current 245 BFG kdw Gforce's. It was rubbing in the front inner fenders when the wheel was turned.

 

The width isn't too much of a problem (well, the rear might rub a hair since you are +30, but it's only an 8.5" rim so you will probably be ok). The height is the problem: stock is 25.3" those are 26.1". It will cause you to rub on the fender liners. That's why most people run a 255/35/18.

 

My 18's tuck with a +35mm offset. Just a tiny tiny bit of rubbing.

 

But i have 255/35r18

 

other than wearing a hole on the liner, any other adverse effects on rubbing on the liners? I already have the tires and pretty much have no choice but to run them.
