wheel experts 18x8.5 +30 on sedan?

CORRECTION, OFFSET IS +30

Will this setup fit front and rear? Tires are 245.40.18.

My wife's sedan is running 245/40/19 falken fk452s on 19x8.5 +35 all around and they fit fine. You should also be okay with those 18s. I rolled the rear fender lips just a little for some extra security. Maybe it would rub if it was lowered more. It's currently lowered on a z/coupe combo.

19x8.5

Mine are either +32 or +35 offset and they fit great. I might have to roll the fenders since I dont have the rear tires toe'd in.

i got 18x8.5 +30 with 245/45/18 and they fit great. I'm lowered about an inch too.

with fenders rolled I'm going 265/40/18 next!

with 245/40/18 you better be lowered more than an inch or your fender gap is going to look huge. I have 45 series in the back and it barely fills the gap.

Isn't 245 the widest you can go up front? I've heard anything wider than that will rub. Thats why I stuck with 245's all around.

i forgot to clarify that I was talking about 265-40-18 in the rear for stagger fitment. I had 225-45-18 and 245-45-18. Now I'm bumping up to 245-45-18 and 265-40-18

They'll fit perfectly fine. If you're not lowered, go with a 245/45 tire.

I could get away with 255/40 up front on my 8.5's with 35 offset and 5mm spacer.
