Not on my watch Jim The 225 is not allowed on the 9" rim (8.5" OK)

We need to get you rolled if possible

How about 18x9 +35?

I tried the calculator and it shows an additional 12.7mm inner and outer clearance is needed. Though I am not sure how those numbers relate to added fender work.

The car is on coilovers and will run 255/35.

Thanks for the help.

+35 is a safe offset as you are only 3mm from stock. I ran your new no.s & looks OK for no rolling needed

I found some decent Michelin tires and they have some decent tread. Here is the ad, and I would just like to know if they will fit? I know they aren't sport tires, but those will be coming later in the summer.

Tires are the only thing that are between you and the road. 30$/tire sounds very suspect. Just my .02

I would personally go wider than a 225 on those wheels

I am simply asking if these will fit, as I merely need a set of tires to last a bit over a months time. After that, I am planning on a whole new setup.

They'll fit but perform like crap.

Calculator notes a minor 2% speedo error. They overlay very similar to the stock tire 235/45

If you must run them, It looks OK to run

I just bought a set of enkei nt03+m. The front ruins have 2234/40/17 tires on them and the rear has 245/40/17. The rims are 17x9.5 et 38. I put then on and they seem to clear everything but seem to be quite close to the lower control arms in the rear and in the from they are close to the struts. Is it recommended to use a space with this set up? Also do I need hubcentric spacers?

Make sure all tires match! Dont run mismatched tires!

A +38 on a 9.5 will be close to the lower control arm. If you have clearance w/no rub I would say you are OK and leave as is

Always use a hubcentric rings (use the alum rings) in all aftermarket wheels so the wheel loads up on the hub vs studs

Sorry about the typo. I was under the understanding that mismatching sidewall heights was bad but having different tread widths was ok. What is your opinion on that? My front tires are 235/40/17 and the rears are 245/40/17. Also where is a good place to buy the spacers? I appreciate your prompt reply.

No problem, I figured you meant 235

My basic understanding is this:

Running different offsets is practiced by many on this forum & is OK. Running different tire widths is not. The 235 will have a smaller circumference than the 245 & potentially can play havoc w/the diffs (maybe not so much DD'ing but driving aggressively could be an issue

Currently rolled in the rear. Not rolled flat. Will obviously need an aggressive pull and relocate bumper bolt for the rear.

What would I need for the fronts? Will I need to hammer the pinch weld?

Ran you idea on the calc. Really dont think this is good idea Our members running overfenders are not even running +12's or even the EVOX guys. I see a lot of rear fender distortion if this is attempted

Up front you will need wider fenders or at the very least the fender extender brkts

Sorry for not being an advocate but this will be very,very tough to fit correctly w/out rub or extreme camber settings
