I kinda want to delete my 10.5" wheel posts from this thread to save others the headache. 30 profile tires on a daily driver, hammering seam welds, exotic suspension parts, and so on, I'm in too deep to stop, but word of caution to others: 265s on 9.5s is enough, and just cause you can do 275 in Forza doesn't mean you should take that as a challenge
I only do like 10k miles a year so it's not the end of the world, but *******, what have I done

Good words of advice
Have we seen your setup yet? Can you post up a few pics @Name User

The 285/30s have 1/2" less overall diameter than the 265/35s I already run, so I might be okay and not lose turning radius. The problem I didn't realize with all the excitement with the rear trailing arms is front coilover clearance. Right now with 9.5/265s I can barely squeeze a pinky in, and somehow I'm going to have to turn that space into an inch. I'm hoping to only use 5mm spacers up front, I would really prefer not to put the 20s on there with the new wheels. They already poke out enough as it is. And I need reasonable camber too, no more than 2.5.
Below is the best case scenario that I'm praying for. This includes 20mm spacers on +45 9.5" wheels that I currently run, and 5mm spacers for the new 10.5" +38 wheels.
And to anyone else thinking of ever dabbling with this, read these two very important posts, word by word. Don't skip over the pinch weld or eccentric bolt, those guys didn't post that by accident.

Hello! I am looking to go back to struts and lowering springs from coilovers on my Evo 8 MR. Any of you run 255/35/18 with 18x9.5 +15 on lowering springs? It's my daily and I normally have my wife and newborn in the back. I am just worried that it would scrape. I am also considering going down to 17 inch wheel with 255/40 tires. Looking forward to your input. Thanks!

With your precious family riding in the back, it would be best to find an offset that will work safetly w/out all that fender work
The range, i like to avoid serious fender work, is approx 18x9.5 +32 to +38

i have been looking for the most aggressive fitment u can run without spacers fender roll i can deal with on an enkei rfp1 or nt03 but theres so many variations on other wheels the fitment wont alway coincide with these enkei pairs just need a couple of numbers to work with thanks in advance i am lowered in fortune auto 17 or 18 specs welcomed

I do have to stress that rear fender work is needed to fit most aggressive wheels (i.e. 9 to 9.5" wide & offsets between +27 to +38)
Any questions, let me know

If youre looking for wheels that fit w/out too much rear trouble, ive always noted these ranges: 18x9 +32 to +38 / 18x9.5 +32 to +38 / 17x9 +32 to +38 / 17v9.5 +32 to +38. If you stay around those areas & depending on tire size, these will be more of a modest fit w/out having to do major rear fender work
Any other questions, let me know

Hello. Yeah, +15 is very, very aggressive especially in the 9.5" width. You would need way too much rear fender work to get this +15 offset to fit correctly w/out rear fender rub
