Hankook

hello evom friends, does anybody know or has experience on 265/35/18 tire on a 18x9.5 rim? I have a CE28 18x9.5 +34 offset, i was wondering if the 265/35/18 Hankook Ventus R-S2 will fit my car without any fender modifications. Are those gonna sit flat with the body or it will stick out??

My suspension setup is Swift spec R with MR struts.

Thanks a lot!

I ran 265/35-18 BFG R1s on a 18X9.5 +28, those tires are WIDE for their listed size. They required fender rolling but were VERY flush...

I will let you know by Friday. I have a brand new set of RS-2s that are going on some 18X9.5 CE28ns when they get here tomorrow. The rears SHOULD fit perfect, but I believe you're gonna need spacers for the front.(I will be running +28 in front and +34 in the rear)

Majority of people with 265's I've seen have had to roll the lips. They will fit a 9.5" wheel perfectly fine.

Most people are running +28s front and rear, and NEED to roll the rears.

I'm hoping I don't with the +34s in the rear, but we will see....................

So Far So Good!

So I just put them on the car, and it started pouring outside. So I was forced to take a few crappy pics in the garage (I can never seem to be able to upload anything bigger than 3 megapixels ??) Anyway, I jumped up and down in the trunk (Don't laugh you've done it) And nothing is touching so far. I may lower the car a little, and see. I had raised it about a half an inch just to give me some room to play with.

And I forgot to mention, that I have a set of Bear slotted rotors.

The aluminum hats are thicker than the stock rotors, and push the wheels out a few MMs.

I see, let me post a picture of my wheel, cuz i am sure my offset is a little bit different than yours, i already forgot my offset number. According to your info your rear wheel offset is +34 right? if yes, then i think my offset is probably over 34.

pictures willl be up soon..

They should be "stamped" with the offset as well on the machined face that goes against the hub.

So I took her for a little "shake down" run, and it is touching something in the rear? I cant tell yet what is making contact? It could be the infamous bumper/fender bolt?
