Dude, you need these...



Think you might have to roll your fenders though.

Those, I believe, are 40" wheels. You might want to call TireRack for pricing...

wow.... i think he changed his DOOR to fit those.............. holy crap....

but seriously... +38 is pretty gross for anything that isn't a 9.5" wide wheel. and i wouldn't run anything less than 9" which is why i'm lookin' for my next set of wheels.

I think he changed the whole car. It probably wasn't a Land Cruiser when he started...

And I'm saying 'he' cos no female would do that.

Did you specify R compound tires? Anyhow, glad I couldn't help.

I just received my 18 x 9.5 gram lights T57-RC, +38 offset. I ran into clearance problems up front with the 255/40 Falken RT-615 rubbing against the coilover spring at the ride height it was set at. I now have a 10mm spacer up front and ride height is at maximum. Rear wheels were not rubbing anywhere when ride height was at minimum, but the tire was extremely close to the fender. Next week I'll be receiving a set of 245/40's for alittle more clearance, especialy up front. the 245's are 10mm thinner than the 255's which should alow me to lower the car back to where I wanted it with the spacer up front. Hope this helps.

I am running stock wheels and lugs with H&R longs studs. No problems.

You can run a 285/30/18 tire on 18x9.5 rims with 5mm spacer in front and rolling fenders in back.

The 285/30 actually fits better than the 275/35 because it has a significantly smaller diameter.

is the ride fairly harsh on that size? that don't sound like too much sidewall altho 285 might be making up for it

Evolutionary,
How much fender rolling did you have to do in the rear? Was it a simple roll (tucking in the lip), or did you need to "pull" the fenders out too? what kind of rear camber are you running? I assume it's gotta be in the -1.5 to -2.0 range.

Any rolling required up front?

Haven't driven it on the street. That was my AX setup. I am planning on running that on the street this summer so I will let you know.

Car was lowered quite a bit leading to a rear camber of about -2. No front fender rolling. Rear lips were rolled all the way up (if stock has 90 degree angle, these are 180 degrees) In the rolling process it pushes the fender out just a little bit further than stock. If you take your time it will be unnoticable when looking at the car.

I think the design of the rim you have to take into consideration also. You may have the right offset but if the design is not right, it will hit the Brembos. I think it was the AMS (not sure) Evo(the one with the candy orange paint job) took out the Brembos to fit a certain rim. I think 9" is wide enough so you won't hit the springs.
