I just bought a set of sportmax 502 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear. I was just wondering whats the widest tire i can fit in the back with out rubbing, and also the front. the offset on the rims is +35 please help me out. I heard that 245/40r18's will fit in the front and 265/35r18 will fit in the back. I've been searching for the past five days and have found out nothing solid. Thanks if you can help me

S14's can fit crazy tire sizes. These should be a cake walk.

You could probably even go as wide as a 285 on the rear there. It would be a bit bubbled probably, but definitely achieve the meaty look.

i don't think you'll have to, but if you do, just get a little 3 lbs hammer or something from home depot and hammer the inner lips of the fender flat. the end.
