Not sure if this is a good size for 255 tires... I have seen pics of the RGII in 18x9 +29 offset and it does stick out a bit. Trying to get some opinions if you think 18x9 +29 offset is already maxed out and should go beyond this size?

I had 18x9.5s with a 29 offset but my tires were only 235s. Mine were about dead even with the front fenders. I really did love the way they made the car look, very wide and aggressive.

I have 18x9.5" rims, wich +28 offset up front, and +34 in the rear.

Both fit flush w/the fenders, and dont stick out past the fenders at all.

I am gonna put wide fenders on it, I just am having problems deciding on what ones I want. Once those are on, it will look normal. I have been considering the Mystique fenders from streetconcepts, but aparrently they arent available in carbon anymore, so I am deciding if I want fiberglass (heavier than the stock fenders) or not.
