Im looking at going 18x9 in the front with 275/35/18 tires and 18x10.5 in the rear with 335/30/18. I know thats going a little wide in the rear for the rim but Im fine with that. My question is other than a swaybar locator do I need small spacers or will I have any problems???

I also have a friend with a 2011 lowered on sport lines and he wants to run 325/50/15 out back but wasnt sure if his car was too low for that. Any and all help would be appreciated.

315 is as far as I can push it on my 10.5 inch rim, and again I am REALLY pushing it. Like said you're wasting contact pad.

You can run 315 all the way around :). It is iffy on front fender but has been done on a 10.5 wheel for auto x. Pretty sure I have seen the 335 on rear but I'm with everyone above saying it doesn't do any good on that wheel.

I hope I'm not highjacking your thread but I've been thinking about the 315/35s Nitto NT05 on my 11" rim but I'm afraid they are going to rub the outer fender. I'm on H&R race springs. Can't seem to find enough info to see if it'll work.

Its all about the rims offset and inset. I had the super car Michelin 335s on the rear with a 12in rim and they were just to big for the car. Now if u were to modifie the inner wheel well and shock location it could work.

Those look great, what kind of tires are those? I prolly will do 315's because the only wheels for the 2011+ are 10" not even 10.5".

Not sure if I understood what you meant by this, but I run a 20x10 in the front and 20x11 in the rear and it fits just fine. To the OP, not sure the widest, but my car runs a 295 pilot super sport which is about a 315 for some other manufacturers and have no rubbing.

People are missing the point on the post... It's not that 335s won't fit the car... With proper rims 335s won't rub at all. The point is he is running a 10 inch wide rim.

You can put a 335 on a freaking 9 inch rim, but at the end of the day it is so rounded off you are wasting so much contact pad it is essentially a freaking 275-285 when all said and done. Rims are just as important as the tires when you are wanting to run certain sizes on these cars. Offset and over all width of the tire in the OP 315s will be pushing it, but should be perfect.

Like the opposite of camber ****.

They fit under the car but looking at the pics the rim is skinny.

Looks can be deceiving.

Those are on a 10.5" wheel with max psi in them.

Even on a 10" wheel, a 325 will have about the same tread width as a 315 on a 9.5" wheel. The tread width for a 325 on a 10.5" wheel is about 12". :thumbsup:
