245/40/18 Nitto Neogens?

Hey guys, i am planning on going with 18x9.5 +20 (and a 3 or 5mm spacer all around) i was just wondering about tire sizes. I am lowered on Tein springs and would like to go with the biggest tire i can with no rubbing or fender mods. I am currently on 18x9 +29 with 245 dunlops which seem to run a bit small so i have some room to play with. I believe 245 Nittos will run a bit bigger than the Dunlops though. Any input would be appreciated!

I wouldn't go higher than 255 if you do not plan on rolling your fenders.

The wheel could go up to 275 but on rolled fenders.

Hmm, so it might be well worth it to roll the fenders, huh?

And i dont think the rims will clear the front brembos without a spacer. Rota Grid.

255/35 and they may still rub if you don't plan on running any camber.

when i had my 18x9.5 +22 TE37's i ran a 245/35 and i had no rub issues, granted that's also a rubberband tire, but it gave me hella clearance.

Neogen is a crappy tire anyway I have the same setup except I use 9.5 rim and there's no rubbing on Z1 Star Spec but there's quite a rubbing with 4D (all Dunlops of course).

I am running grids 9.5 +20 with 255/35 nitto's no spacers and rear rolled fenders. -2 camper in rear and -1 in front. I could probably get away with 5mm spacers or 265 tires. Hope this helps.

I won't be auto x-ing (at least not with this setup of course) so I don't need a spectacular tire for daily use

Thanks for the input guys
