been pm'ing and posting questions on a setup i want and the wheel directory and the fitment calculator have me perplexed. i would like to have decent rubber to bulge over the tire and protect the rim. looking at konig oversteer 18 x 9at 42 offset and wanting 255/35/18'sto get the meaty look. leaving at stock height as its a daily driver and have winter tires for that season. don't want to buy coilovers but will get spacers to miss the factory coil perch. i'd like to have the sidewall poke with the rim about flush. fitment calculator showed i had this cased with a 12mm spacer on the front and 17 mm on back but a pic of a stretched 245/35/18 with no spacer on bremmer kraft had only 2mm clearance to stock perch and obnoxious poke.
am i asking for the impossible here? consensus?
