Will 255 or 265 fit on a 18inch tire without rubbing? I plan on using Hotchkin springs

I'm running 240/40/18 on a 18/8.5/30 it clears in the back but it rubs on the front inner liner
when wheel is turn all the way. I'm running Tanabe which is the same drop as the Hothckis springs.
Hope this helps...

go with a 35mm offset.

255 = 8.5" width
265 = 9" width

It only rubs on the fender liner when wheel is turn all the way but aside from that everything is ok.

i read somewhere that the widest you can go would be a 10" rim w/a 15 offset. that's alot of traction to turn & the car might look like a go cart. i think the widest i would go would be 9" w/25 or 30 offest+ wider front fenders.
