Pretty sure R/TErnie DOES run 295's on a pretty low stock body car.

Could you take a pictures closer up of the wheels? I was thinking of running a 225 on a 9.5 rim.

he's on 10'' +38, not a super aggressive offset on 295's and it depends on how you describe "pretty low". My point is that you cant just give someone info on how to fit aggressive wheels/tires without knowing how low they sit because that is way more important than what fender mods need to be done.

Like DFV's with 6" Swift/Hyperco springs to clear the tire inboard... adjusting caster to clear as well.

Making Chromoly rear trailing links w/Howe ball joints to clear the tire in the rear?

Yeah... they'll fit. And I didn't have to do an EvoDave fender mod to make my 295's tuck.

JdmGraphiteMR,
Did you learn anything interesting while making those wheels fit? Do you have adjustable caster? Any custom suspension bits?

Y
That's about the same size wheel I'm running when you take the spacers into consideration, I'm at 18x10.5 -30 but you are running much wider rubber (I'm on 255). I was thinking and 12" wide wheel +15 range would work with the cyber widebody but you have a much lower offset on an 11" wide wheel. I'll try to snap some pics of mine for comparison.

Nice fitment!! Not a lot of wheel choices at 11" or 12" wide haha!!!
