Here's a 255 on a an 18x8" +48 wheel:



That's not TOO bad, but I probably wouldn't go any wider.

Any of those widths will have no problems with clearing the suspension and fenders.

This is the kind of setup I have been looking for!!

First off, let me begin by saying thank you Dan and everyone else on the thread with your excellent tips and expertise knowledge on the subject. This kind of information is very beneficial. Now to the point...

If you don't mind, what set of wheels are these? Rota Formula wheels? Also, you say the tire was a 255. Is this 255/35R18? I want to keep stock suspension/height. I'm assuming this car was lowered. I shouldn't have any issues with this selection of wheels/tires on stock height should I? Thanks for the help.

I really like this setup, but after reading some more its not preferred because of the handling loss (roll on corners). I would hate to diminish my handling, but how much worse is it? I see a 245/40R18 is recommended on an 18x8" wheel. I wish I could see in comparison...
