275/35-18 vs. 265/35-18 Tire

[.grimace]

So I went with the Michelin pilot sport 4s in 275/35/18 Mounted on BBS RF 521s, offset is 47mm. They fit beautifully and in the short time that I have been driving it with this setup I've had no issues, no rubs. All in all I think that they look great.

nice setup. Yea +47 is definitely in the clear

What size are those rims? And are you lowered? It kinda looks like you are in the picture

Everything else on the car is stock.

Would 275/35/18 with a +38 offset rub on stock height?

My guess would be no. I ran 275/35/18 + 45 and never rubbed or came close to it on stock height. I don't think an additional 7mm will make a difference but definitely don't take my word for it.

At that point you might start looking silly with the wheels so far outside the fenders. Not my cup of tea.

Hey man, I'm pulling this back up from the dead. I'm considering this set up for my car, and I've got a couple of questions. I'm hoping you still monitor the forum! First, what size are the center caps? I'd be looking to replace them with something that doesn't have the gold. Second, what size the hub bore (ie, did you get hub rings and if so what size)?
