Okay, so i test fitted the 18x11.5 +3
PRE-NOTE - I can still return the 6 inch lips, and go to a 5 inch lip (my buddy works at the shop that re-barreled them)... new size would be 18x10.5 +12 if i went to a 5 inch lip. BE SURE and look below for questions Here they are on stock fenders [img[http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/577683_10100838071899224_23307162_51953293_2894390 81_n.jpg[/img] Here they are with 30mm Overfenders. What do you guys think? does it look too mexi? i dont want to add any more camber. should i go to 18x10.5 or keep it at 18x11.5? will a stretched 255 give enough "bevel" to make it not look dumb? does anyone have reference pics?

Bow out the fender, you can get way more then 30mm out of it if you squeeze the bottom two sections of the fender in toward the wheel well. Then you just rivet them in place.

Thats deff an option. How did you do yours? It looks like you cut and welded in a rounded piece of sheet metal on yours. How did you do it? I love it.

What size Tire Should I get for my 19x10 rear wheels?
Cant decide if I need 255/30, 255/35 or even a 265/35/30 or something? I don't want a super Beefy tire and want some strech. 19" tire put you in a whole new Ballgame due to the sidewall changes. 18's I know alot more about.

*255/35 is literately a ball hair shorter in diameter than a 225/40/19 from what i see. They are Almost the same. Couldn't pass up free tires so I need to try to Make use of them if i can. I almost bought 245/35's but a 10" needs more beef than that. Anyone Used Achilles Tires? do they run Big like federals? I love Feddy's but they run to Bulky for what I'm trying to achieve. I need to get my car on the ground with some tires soon si i can Test fit everything.

I'm about to order wheels this Friday and I just want to make sure if I order these sizes, it will fit look right ..
I want to get xxr 962 (if anyone is selling 4 lug real wheels , I'll get those instead !) Buy I was looking on frsport and would F17x9 + 35 R18x9.5 +35 look right? Amd would I need spacers ?? |

I dont think 50mm would truly be enough, the 30mm are actually sticking out more than 30mm because they are being pushed by the pull on the stock fender....

50mm should be enough.
right now i am running an 18x10 +18 on stock metal with just a roll. my new wheels that will be going on are 18x12 -7 and that sticks out exactly 50mm further than my current wheels. your 11.5 +3 should fit under 50's no problem. |

If i back off to a 5.5 inch lip (from 6) i will be 18x11 +10... will that work with that stock fenders (note the pull) or will it poke too much still?

So once I get my alignment, I'll probably put the spacers back on. |

I have on now, 195/60/15s but the calcu over at will they fit.com says the set up is 24 inches, but I measured it and its 23 1/4" = 584.2mm so why is the diameter changing if it's the same size rim (height) and sidewall? link-> http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php...&Submit=Submit I'm trying here yall...

there is no way to tell man. i dont know how far your fenders are pulled or what size tires you are going to run. shit like this is really a trial and error type of process at the point you are at now. i planned mine WAY out in advance so i'd know exactly what i needed to make it fit.

is there anyone running a 18x10 +10 265/35/18 on the front of an s13 with PBM knuckles? i want to see your clearances.... i have minimal clearance right now without knuckles, and want to see if i will be able to keep these wheels on the front, or if im just too optimistic...
