Haha yea, i figured I would be a little different, instead of going with an 18" I would just run some more sidewall, hopefully Ill wont spin through 3rd on the street haha.

I would guess you need to stick with +45 offset 17x9 RFP1 comes with on tires 275 wide, even then you will have a bit of poke. The tire will be 1 full inch taller so lowering 1.5 inches may cause problems even with neg camber. Also the diameter difference between front and back tires may cause the sensors to mess up.

For those of you that have gone 265 or 275 on 18's , can you please provide me with what further modifications I will need in regards to camber?

currently, 18x10 +44 245 40 18 on kw v3 cusco rear lca and whiteline camber bolts up front. -1.3 front now and -1.8 rear now and have no issues.

thanks.

Thanks! I may probably have to roll the fenders. Which is fine with me. A local guy we have here is running a 265 in back on a 17×8.5 and 245 on the same size wheel in front. I think his offset is +48 with -2 camber in back

Here is my 275/35/18 squared setup. Need LCA's so the rear can stop scraping!

How did you make these fit? Roll pull? Lca are needed? Camber bolts up front ?

Camber bolts up front, rear fenders rolled and LCA'S are needed. It scrapes the tire on the rear driver side occasionally even on the stiffest setting. Wheel size is 18x9.5 +40

Can anyone make a suggestion for 17x8.25 et35 wheels? I have hotchkis lowering springs and camber bolts for up front. Whats the biggest tire i can reasonably fit on those wheels to fill up the wheel well?

Thanks

It can fit bigger I'd guess but I would run 245/40/17s.

255/40-17, recommend 8.5 width minimum but it is up to you to decide. Otherwise 245/40-17
