Just ordered my wheel/tire set up! Can’t wait, been up and down the forums & seen a couple members run this set up with minimal issues.. Currently lowered on Swift Springs

Nice, I just ordered the same wheel spec with 255/35 continental ECS. Tires came first and those things are fat!!

Most people run 38 offset on 9.5 width wheels so we 100% shouldn't have any issues with fender clearance

The problem won't be the outside width of the wheel, but the inside clearance on the front, with that 265 series tire.

I know.. hopefully I’ll be okay.. I wanna go 255, but I’d do it on a 9 width. Going with my gut for 265!

You'll be fine lol I'm just irrationally worried I'll run into issues too since I'm lowered too

On a side note I'm pissed because my wheels haven't even shipped out yet, whereas the tires delivered within 24 hours of ordering . Fitment Industries never again... I called and they're not even open today. Guess that's what I get for ordering on a friday

What ever happened with your wheels?? I was hoping to see the 265's on these and get your feedback.?

Heres my 265/35, no rub at all but not the most aggressive drop either. Works for me though!

My question might be weird, but any issues with acceleration? I can imagine how much those wheels weight, I want to get something wide for mine, is it worth it for non sI?

That size runs the same with stock according to Costco, no negative or positive speed, comes out equal. As far as contact, there is definitely more contact being made

How much space do you have inboard front and back with this setup? Does it come close to the strut? Thanks

not sure exactly, but it clears forsure, turns full lock no problem

I checked clearance before mounting my tires. It's a little over 5/8" between the rim and front strut for 18x9.5 +45.

Thanks out to those who boldly went there before I.

More reference pictures with 265/35/18 MPS4S. Front clears with with maybe 3/10". Plenty in the rear, the trailing arm would rub before the rear strut.
