Im thinking of going with some CCW 3 piece 'classics' 18/10 all the way around and want to wrap the above tire. It is exactly the same diameter as stock. But will I be ok on the street as far as tire profile(lip damage, daily road irregularities) Smallest tire I have ever had was a 35 on another car so 30's will be a stretch for me. Falken and Yokohama make the tires. Extreme performance in San Jose has done the fitment on a couple Evo race cars with H&R spacer kits already so they DO fit with rolled fender out back and do not rub the front liners (at my ride height)

I think you have to worry more about the width of your wheel than anything. What offset?

18x10 without wide fenders. Thats a tough one cuz ur gonna need a low offset like a +20 to clear your suspension. Well are you just running shocks n springs or a full coilover. Generally you can get more clearance on the inside with a shock spring combo. this is off my head math but your wheel will stick out around 1n3/4inches farther than your stock enkeis. and a 285 tire is about 11 inches wide.

I really dont think this will fit without a widebody. on stock fenders not only rolled but actually pulled out a lot to fit.


I mean the picture alone shows major sticking out. Your gonna look like one of those late 80s honda civics driven by mexicans with 15" dayton look a likes that stick out like crazy thinkin it looks good. Wannabe lowriders.

might as well roll gold 15x10...and lace yourself down with a hydraulic suspension so you can roll down the street on three wheels at 30 mph.

pm Joe harrison on evoM his car is featured on the front page, he ran exactly those wheels on his auto-x car, I think with only minor fender mods.
