Will this fit without rolling the fender wheel well & grinding the IRS bolt?

The wheels are True Forged Mach 5's 18X9 fronts / 18x10.5 rears

Also, what size should I get at front? 255/35 or 265/35?

Edit: I'm running H&R race springs if it makes any difference..

FOR REALS!!!! Rub on what though?

WTF should I get then?:shrug: Size, brand?

I want something that'll handle a turn (wet/dry) & hook well at the same time.

I am running them on a 18x10.5" wheel with the Maximum Motorsports low profile IRS subframe bolts http://www.lethalperformance.com/pa...rsports-low-profile-irs-subframe-bolts-2.html without any spacers, and they have probably atleast 1/8 inch or more clearance on both side with my car off the ground. My fenders are not rolled. Like most Japanese tires they run a little undersized.

Edit:
Look here. There a good tire. I like them.

They shouldn't rub. A friend of mine had 315 Falkens on 10.5" saleen wheels and didn't rub with the low profile bolts. As long as your offsets are ok, you'll be fine. Stick with the RT615, it is a great tire. Get a 265 for the front, Falkens run fairly narrow.

I have them on 18x10.5 replicas with the low profile IRS bolt and i had no rubbing. And no you will not need to roll your fender as long as your offset is correct.
