Tyre Stretch

hello fellow Zedders
What is the maximum width size in 18 inch wheel and tyre can I fit both front and rear without rolling guards? I am looking for slight stretch look and at the same time maximum wide tyre so have maximum rubber on the road. I am not opposed to small camber and what offset? Additionally, can I use spacer with the setup if I cant find right offsets?
Thanks

 

Any stretch is too much stretch

 

I have 265 18's on the rear and 245 18's on the front... cant remember the exact offset now. I have now rolled the guards but that was due to the fact I was painting the car but it did not need it. these are on 9.5 and 8.5 rims

 

Do you have pictures that I can see please

 

lets try this - have not done pics since PB stuffed us all over.......

 

These two terms contradict

So you want stretch but with maximum tire for contact patch,

Sounds like you want a 10.5" rear with a 275-285 tire

 

Even then it is possible that the tyre walls may scrub under cornering load

 

I run an 18x9 +27 up front with a 255/35 tyre and an 18x10 +35 on the rear with a 295/30 tyre, the front rubs the inner plastic gaurd on full lock, otherwise it's fine. The rear rubs the lip of wheel arch on big bumps, otherwise drives fine around town. If I ran a bit more negative camber on the back I could clear the lip and wouldn't rub.

 

what profile are the tyres, front and rear?

 

265 35 18 on the rear and 245 40 18 on the front

 

Would 275 35 18 work? Without rolling the guards? Or it needs to be 275 30 18?

 

Can't answer that question. My best guess is may be but depending on offset camber and if you are lowered then how much. Also tires are not made the same. You can get variances with different brands
