those aren't even the limit of STOCK fenders, and then you're gonna be slapping on widebody?

It's gonna be sunken as hell

Yes, the offsets are the most aggressive ones you mentioned and they're both rear face. I also have AP racing calipers front and rear so 20mm spacers were needed for the front to clear them. The moonbeam fenders really aren't so widebody, they're actually pretty shallow for flares. Already did the test fit and they look pretty good!

Seems like waste of money and effort to cut, paint and install fenders for no gain...but it’s your car, whatever

Well that's the fun thing about looking at numbers on the internet vs looking at things in real life. When I said 'the fitment looks good!' it's because I was there

OZ - Just let him do his thing. Carbon Signal recommended a 20x10 -15 and a 20x11 -20 but hey, what do they know... He seems to be setting himself up for success.

I live in NYC/NJ area where we have this thing called winter that produces these things called pot holes. Some of which are massive and on the off chance I hit one, I don't want the tire to smash into the fender. So flushness isn't the priority. The way it sat when I tested it was just on the inside of the flare which is exactly what I wanted. All I came here for was to ask about best tire choices..

I don't understand.

Why run flares if you aren't going to fill out your wheel wells?

[OptionZero]

it's your money, do whatever you want

if functionality is the issue, get a cup kit or air instead of cutting/painting/riveting on fender flares that don't fit your wheels

but again its your money, set it on fire, put it in a hole in your back yard, spend it on flares, be happy

[NorthStyle]

Ahhh yes, the majestic, elusive pothole that only areas that snow seem to have...

Anyway to cut the sarcasm short, "flushness" won't result in your wheel/tire slamming into your fender, bad fitment and suspension setup will. My setup is flush, with a decent tire, and I have no rubbing/etc. but no clue what I'm talking about either so enough about me.

To answer your Q: if you plan on going with the 18x10/11 GTC combo I would have originally suggested a 275/40 and 305/35 combo... however, since you don't want to listen to advice and want to run oversized flares on an undersized offset (including the spacers), I'd recommend you get the largest, widest tire you can fit on a 10"/11" wheel. So, something along the lines of a 305/35 in front and a 335/30 in the rear.

Now that's meaty.

Plenty of folks are running as aggressive or more aggressive wheels without needing fender flares

hell, like Hotrod said, he's running a goddamn 315 in FRONT and he TRACKS the car without issues

I've read so much my eyes are crossed... I've found several posts that kinda fit my car/application but not exact, so I'm just gonna ask....

I have new 18x10.5 +15 rear and 18x9.5 +22 front wheels (uninstalled). I need tires for them.

Im lowered on Swift R, have spl rear camber arms/toe bolts, front is stock camber arms. I'm looking to put either 255/45 285/40 f/r or 265/40 295/40 f/r if possible. I dont care to get the car realigned, but am worried about front rubbing issues and for now, not having to install front adjustable camber arms.

What do you think? Will it rub under spirited driving / autocross conditions?

Other options are welcome, but I'd like to keep the stock tire ratio close. Thank you.

Dunno. What size wheels are you running now?
I dont know what your fitment is currently like or what your ride height currently is.
I would guess no - as most springs don't take you anywhere near low enough to rub but again, that is a guess.

Sorry, shoulda said that.... im on base 18" rims. 225/50f 245/45r with 20mm/25mm spacers f/r. I'll be removing the spacers totally, but everything is aligned currently with -1.8 f camber and -2.1 r camber at the moment.

Im basically worried about the front rub under hard braking or big bumps during spirited driving (autocross).

Thanks

Hey guys, need help. Currently running 275/35 on stock Ray's. But since the wheels are staggered, people are making it sound like it's a problem to run square on staggered rims. What if I do 265/35 front and 275/35 rear? What's a good combo? I want to keep my front 275s since they are brand new lol

They’ll filt on the 9” front & you’ll have a slight rake...but they’ll bulge some vs the rears
