18x10.5 +15 - 295/40/18
#16
Ok ok ok.... So here's the deal... lol
My friend has a set of Advan RGII's 18x11 with 295/30's on them. When we put those on with my Tein springs they fit good no need for rolling even, just a little to wide, as hard as that is to believe. So he had a set of 295/40's in stock. He was thiking that because it was only a 10mm difference that it would still fit fine and we might have to roll the fenders. But.... we didn't factor in the .5" difference on the width of the wheel with the 295/30's... So in the long run we are idiots and the 18x10.5 with 295'40's looks like a MONSTER TRUCK TIRE!!! lol Yeah yeah yeah, I know I'm dumb... Sorry for spreading my stupidity but it happens. Anyway long story short, I ordered some 265/35's and they will be here tomorrow. I will do my best to get some pictures on Wed or Thurs if I can get the tires swapped. To give you guys a better idea of actually how stupid I am which I think you already know. When the front tire was mounted and wheels where straight there was probably about a 1/4" from the tire to the side skirt, maybe less... lol. Like I said, Monster truck status. I must have been high on some damn good crack rock!

Would love to see some pics after you get the 265's on. It's been fun hearing the front tires rub against the inner fender lining at full lock (parking lot speeds) and would like to know what manufacturer the 265's will be coming from, as well as if you're getting the same fender lining rub. Also, 275 isn't too bad of a stretch, but what'll 265 look like?

So put the tires on and posted some pics in a show and shine thread because I did some other stuff. Love the wheels and tires and it looks awesome IMO. Slight rub in the rear on huge bumps but not to bad so I am getting my fenders rolled tomorrow. Anyway here's a link:
