I like it, not too much stretch. Thats pretty meaty for 18x8. I'm about to get the JR SC kit installed very soon. Should be a good setup for FI. Fair warning, IMO the Raijin's don't look at as good in 18x8 due to being convex rather than concave (9.5 width).

@ApolloSki I'm ordering out the raijins 18x9.5 with mpss 255/35/18. The rep at discount tire talk to an enkei rep and apparently it will fit perfectly with coilovers all around. Wondering if I should grab some lower control arms if it would be worth it?

Worth it; you should grab LCA's if you want decent tire wear (depending on how low you drop). Easiest to do all your suspension at the same time so you dont have to mess with too many alignments.

I can't wait to mount 245/40/17 when the weather gets warmer.

Whiteline is pretty good, shop around and find what suits your needs the best. Good luck!

So Mod Bargains was trying to say you can't fit a 275 without rolling the fender and that 18x9.5 is the widest you can go in the rear. I smell bullshit. Anyone else agree?

I have 265s on 9.5s and have rolled fenders; they still rub, but they fit.

I've seen 10j wheels on the back and those fit. I've seen 275s on the back as well with different wheels.

You can "fit" anything when it comes to wheels. It just depends on what you want the end result to look/drive like.

I've got a set of 18x9.5 + 35 wheels and am looking for a semi track setup with minimal stretch, yet decently low not slammed. Have BC Coils and would like some semi slicks. NT01, NT05, etc... will i rub? looking into 255/35/18s but want to remain low. Definitely has to be 35 aspect ratio
