I have a quick question for the tire gurus and those who have first hand knowledge regarding the largest size tire that I can run on my evo. On to the specs.

My question is basically how wide of a tire can I run. I want to run no smaller than a 255 and I would preferably like to run a 265 AD08 or similar class tire. That being said, I'm open to flaring the rears if need-be and/or running wider front fenders. So if I were to run 265/35/18 AD08's, what would I need to do clearance-wise? I'm also open to running a smaller diameter coilover spring if that is required. Is a 265 Doable? Would a 255 AD08 look too stretched?

Thanks for any helpful insight.

 

Did some more researching and it appears that 265's are very doable with no flaring or wide front fenders. Thoughts?

 

No love? lol, very well. I will get back I suppose with a write-up after I mount the 265's on what all is involved.

 

I am having a set of 255 35 18 ad08's mounted on Advan RS, 18 X 9 +29. Fit will be good with no rubbing and no rolling of fenders on Swift springs. If you want to run a 10" wheel, and on top of that 265's and dropped on Ohlins, I am guessing you will more than likely run into some issues that will require your attention to make it work/fit. I honestly don't know for sure, never went that wide myself. Camber will be your friend.
