definitive tire, wheel, and offset thread

Did you get the wheels? What brand makes a 10.5" width?I think the wheel would fit, but only with a 30 series tire...

Work makes a 10.5. They actually make whatever you want but that's what I was looking at. I am still debating if I am.going to go 10 or 10.5. Right now I am at 18x9.5 all around +20mm in rear and +32mm in front with zero issues on a 245/40. Just rolled the front fenders as much as I could without pulling. Going with a 275 next just not sure on 10 or 10.5 yet. I'll get some pics up shortly.

At the moment my summer set up is 9Jx20 and ET 35, running with Michelin Pilot Sports 255-30. Needs a few mm spacer to clear the front calipers but nothing needed in the back.
The car is not lowered (yet).
Now looking to get BBS CH-R 9Jx20 with ET 25 for all 4 wheels. Will keep the same 255-30's on this.
Maybe I will get a slightly wider version (9,5 or 10,5) with 275-30 for the rear wheels or would that be a silly thing to do?

Oh yeah, the front fender rolling....I would be careful as when I rolled the fronts I found the hard ($575 at the body shop) that the uppermost portion where the inner fender cover attaches is difficult (if not impossibe) to roll.

Good luck...

Probably out of my price range, but sounds nice....a 275 will be somewhat stretched on a 10/10.5 wheel. Even with my 9.5" the 275 is slightly stretched looking, but seems to help flatten the tire edges and provide more tread contact. At least if I curb a tire, I've got some protection from the bead guard before chewing up metal. So far so good and not contact with anything so far.

I wanted to go with 285/30's but the extra expense and lack of choices wasn't worth it for me this time around. Round 2 should hopefully involve multi-piece wheels and possibly fender flares....
