My budget autox/canyon setup.

Motegi MR131 Traklite 18x9 +35 wrapped in Firestone Indy 500 255/35/18.

How much fender work(if any) did you do with this setup?

I just bent the tab in the front fender by hand and don’t have any rub with this setup.
good to know, wheels look good too. Is it flush? It's tough to tell from the posted angle.

Hey guys, would 18x8.5 +30 be aggressive? I know +35 offset is flush, but would +30 sit aggressive? Thanks!

Do you think you would rub with a 265/35/18 setup on a 18x9 +35mm wheel? Trying to see what the upper limits are with just the fender tab mod.
I think 265's MIGHT rub, but you might be okay depending on the variances of tire manufacturers. If I were to do it all over, I'd do 18x9.5 +45 wrapped in 265/35/18. On paper, this size is the same diameter as the stock tires, which will cure my stupid OCD with the 255's being slightly smaller.

looks great! did you modify suspension at all?
Thanks! I only have D2 springs at the moment.

This is exactly why I asked about a 265 tire. Either way, great looking setup!
