I am ordering a set of 18x8 4.5" backspace wheels to go all the way around on my car. What is the widest tire I can fit in the wheelwell all the way around with that backspace without rolling the fender lip?
I'd like to fit a 265/35r18 which is 25.3" tall (is that too short?) and 10.7" section width. If I can get away with it, even a 275/35r18 which is 25.6" tall (closer to stock diameter I think) with a 10.9" section width. I also realize the widths might be a touch bigger since I'm putting them on an 8" rim instead of a 9.5" as measured.
The car will be about 2" lower when all is said and done, and I plan to run the same size on all 4 corners.
Please let me know if I'm absolutely nuts and there is no way I'll be able to turn with these tires and a ~2" drop. I was thinking the 265/35 being a touch shorter than stock might help, but will it look ridiculous and too small?
Thanks!
