So 255/35 will require some fender work then as well?

 

i run 265/35 18 no rubbing after rolling. even have room to spare in the front. -3F and -2 rear.

 

Well I ordered 255/35-18 Falken FK452's.
Hope they will work without any issues

 

Heippa m8,

the max tire size is 265/35/18 and this size has exactly the same diameter with the stock 235/45/17 size. 255/35/18 are same diameter as 225/45/47 or ca 1,2% smaller than stock.

You won't need any spacers with your Advan.

At the rear with -1,5 camber FK452's and bit of luck, they could fit without fender rolling as these tires are 10.1" wide (=25,65 cm).
My 255/40/17 Michelin Cup's are 10.7" wide (=27,17cm) and they didn't fit so I rolled fenders.
265/35/18 FK452's are also 10.7" wide.

I hope u did not pay more than 430 EUR incl. shipping to Finland !!!

I wish u a lot of fun with ur evo. Finland rocks

 

Heippa ,

Thanks a lot for this input. I just have to keep my fingers crossed that they will fit. Or then I'll just roll the fenders, maybe not that big a deal anyway.

I did pay just a bit more than that for the tires, still under 500 EUR though. Ordered them from the UK as prices here were +700 EUR so still a nice saving

Cheers

 

Finally got my wheels after having to have some work done on them and the tires do fit without any rubbing. In the back there's no room to spare.

So thanks to everyone for their input

 

hey congrats!!

I'm planning to get exactly the same rims soon and was worried about rubbing issues too lolz
I think i'll stick to 235/40/18s though just to be safe since I dont wanna be running too much camber, nor do i wanna do any fender work!!

and since its a daily, I want a comfy ride lolz

Keep us up to date when you get the teins monoflex since i've actually got those sitting in the garage waiting to be put on hahaha

 

It cost less than $100 to shave the rears for me. My advans fit fine with 255's. Dont go 235s

 

I'm gonna change my 255's to 265's for my next tire.

 

My issue isn't the money it'll cost to shave the guards, but more the issue that I dont want to

Is the only reason why you guys aren't recommending the 235 tires because it'll look retarded?? Anyone got a picture so I can see?

 

255-35-18 will work fine

 

265 is closer

 

255/35
