Thank you!

Anyone think I should do white on cosmic blue?

Was my description not enough? I probably gave the most detailed description in this thread even to the point of camber and toe settings. With +30 offset, you're going to need at least 5mm spacers in the front, 8mm to be safe. Rears will need fender rolling with 255 and up. There is no loophole around this.

Cant wait to see the pics koffebean.

I do believe you are incorrect about not needing to mod with 255s. I am 99% sure you will have to roll the rears only with 255s. 245s shouldnt require any mods though. I know that the guys running the 18x9 GTR face ADVANS need to roll the rears with 255s and they have +29 offset. So +30 or +29 isnt going to make a difference unless you consider 1mm enough clearance.

I am curious if anyone has any issues with the 5mm spacer. I would rather run that than the 8mm, especially if I go with 265s eventually.

245's will require rolling rear fenders
front fenders will scrub at times

Really? 245s and +30 should be no problems I would think. When I was looking into getting RGIIs with the +29 offset, a ton of people ran 245s with zero issues. Most ran 255s with rolled rears though. Hmmm....it sounds like these things may be more trouble than they are worth.

For reference here is what 255/35s will look like on a 9.5" wide rim such as the P45Rs with Tanabe GF-210s. I dont think it looks right. 265s are a must IMO.

I have 255's and they don't look like that at all. Mine barely have a stretch going on.

I'm pretty sure also........ i was looking at the silver evo with the silver p45r's with the et 30 offset on 255-35-18 and he says it clears....... I'm also lower than him, I think....... I went ahead and made an appointment to get my rear fenders rolled on friday anyways.

Really? Well can you please post up! Not to be a pain but I am **** when it comes to my car and this stretch shown here is just way too bad. And I dont want to run 265s if I dont have to as most say they barely rub, but still rub none the less. Also they cost a lot and throw crap all over the side of your car and I do not want to run mudflaps. Also, what brand/style of tire are you running? Some tires have thicker sidewalls that make the tire look wider when they really have the same 255mm contact patch. Thanks Bean!!
