Yup, everything is there that needs to be. I'm running the stock tires that are stretched a bit 245/40r18 and I need to get 255/40

255/40 is probably too tall. Go with a 255/35 or roll your fenders a bit and rock 265s

Scratch that, 255/40 is fine for GRs. But you could still fit 265 or even 275 under there with a little rolling. I wish I could run tires that wide easily

Yeah, I am leaning towards the 255. I can't afford a fender roll right now, would I have rubbing issues with the stock suspension with 265 ? I'll be at the meet for sure.

You would probably only have to do the rears with the 265. I think it's $100 or $120 for the rear 2 fenders to be rolled/trimmed at Exact Motorsports.

I did a little looking on Nasioc and I guess with a +45 you can run 265 no problem. But with a +38 and 255, you actually might have to still roll your rear fenders.

So might as well go big and run the 265s if your gonna roll anwyay

Seriously... All this talk .. I'd fun a 18x9 with a 48+offset..265s. I just don't wanna run a crazy negative camber in the rear.. I want all 4 wheels to be straight ..

Most alignment shops will align your suspension to your needs. I just do mine at Firestone... But it sounds like your getting a great deal at Auto Innovations.

Yeah I'm sure we'll have on in the group by the end of the year! And yes, I'm interested!

You'll still probably need at least -2 in the rear to fit that wide of a tire and have some stiff coil, even at that offset.
