Lol. It’s all good. I been searching and searching all over this forum to see if that setup will fit. I’m on 18x9.5 +38 with 245/40/18. I don’t rub, but I’m on bc coils and maxed out the top camber plate to get them to fit in the wheel well
Ah. I have the same wheel specs now on 255/35 Indy 500 lowered on Swifts.

No rubbing so far.

I'm planning to go 265/35 soon but I might need to trim the rear fenders.

Ah, just noticed you have an R too. Assuming you have wider wheel wells? Can’t get away with a roll?

Not certain, but technically, I think those specs will just be about the same (wider width but lower offset)

I did forgot to mention, I was running A/S tires on the 275, so it's a bit narrower. Performance tires are definitely wider.

So to answer your question: I'm not sure. Lol!

Sorry man.
Do you think +33 18x9.5 will work with 265/35/18 in the rear and 275/35/18 in the front with Swift Springs? This is the set up I'm contemplating.

Thanks!

You'll definitely rub sir.

You'll have to trim and/or roll your front and rear fenders.
