255/35/18 on 18x9.5, -2.8 camber in the front using Raceseng Cas/Cam plates, -2 in the rear with SPC rear LCAs. Just barely fits at this camber.

Version Select/Zele replica. Honestly the best constructed/easiest lip install I've ever had. Mounting used ALL existing factory mounting holes. @Touge Factory is the only vendor that sells it.

I wanna go 18x8.5 +38[f] and 18x9.5 +38[r] and dont really wanna deal with rubbing or anything like that.

thanks!

245/40 front

255/35 rear

rear bumper tab WILL rub. you can roll if you want for more clearance but don't need to.

that lips is really growing on me...but it won't go with any of my sideskirts/rear options..

@Jive Turkey it's grown a lot on me, I was iffy on it but love it now. Also, my rear bumper tabs are gone lol. Lost them squatting during a 25psi WOT pull

Will a 245/45/17 fit on a wheel with stock height and stock offset?

offset is relative to width, so if you're bumping up in width but keeping the same offset, it's really not going to be the same...are you referring to stock wheels?

a lot of people run that tire size or a 245/40 (on 18's) on springs but they are way more offset then stock. i honestly think it will be too close for comfort and might rub.

Yes stock wheels indeed. The drag radial is rated for 7.5" minimum width. Stock wheel is 7" I messed up and thought the stock wheel was 7.5". I may need spacers.

245/45 drag radial on the stock wheel fits. Quite well too

Spacers won't help with making tires fit better on small wheels.

They would help if it was rubbing on the spring. All the american muscle guys i know run like a 305 drag radial on 8.5" wheel

After a 3 sec burnout @ 18psi, it doesnt spin 1st as bad and dead hooks second at 400hp/~330tq

Right, I thought you meant the wheel itself.
