I wonder if 295/30's will fit without rolling.

I’ve got a couple customers with them, they love em. Sit really well with a 295 in the back

#1 Ryan Williams via facebook...yes they’re the 18x10.5. I’m still IRS, running a 295/35/18 atm, going to a 305/35/18 Mickey S/S in a month or so though. Lowered on H&R race springs, fenders aren’t rolled, and no spacers. Now when i go bigger tire I’m not sure if I’ll need to roll fenders or not, with a 295 i don’t

I messaged the owner of the car in above photo.

Q..Ken Reid how is the fitment of these wheels...I've been looking at them but haven't heard if there are any issues with rubbing...are you lowered? low profile IRA bolt? rolled fenders?

A..Alex Acunamatata Lower yes. They fit great no rubbing. Everything else no
315/35

Q..Ken Reid all brand tires are a little different what are you running?

A..Alex Acunamatata Toyo drags radial

Good to know, I am on H&R races with IRS too.

gave up on 18x10.5.AFS and Rovos....decided to go staggered 17x9, 17x10.5 chrome cobra reps and save $$$ for lowering springs, bushings etc

I'm currently running a set of Rovos Pretorias. 18X9 275/35/18 front, 18x10.5 295/35/18 rear. H&R race springs, no isos in the front and 1 in the rear. Nitto Invo tires. I have the low profile IRS bolts but I do not believe they're needed (I originally installed them when I ran 315s on a 17x10.5). My fenders are NOT rolled.
The issues I have encountered...
The rear half-shafts stick through the center of the wheel ~1/8" preventing center cap install without some type of spacer or grinding the shaft.
With the front offset wider the tires do scrub the front fender lip when hitting hard bumps.
Also...I ordered through Das Hengst Designs. 3 out of the 4 center caps were broken badly and couldn't be used. They have promised me over and over...and over, that they would be sending me a new set of center caps to replace the broken ones they shipped. That was in November...about 4 months ago...I hate to ever give anyone a bad review but I would not go through these guys again.

I like the styling of the wheel, and I agree with those who especially like the rear wheels. Maybe it's the angle of the photo that makes the 10.5" rear look better than the 9" front wheel. Maybe it's just the extra width.

Rear are 315/30/18 Nitto NT-01’s with H&R race springs with iso’s and zero rub. Fronts are 275/40/18 Nitto NT555 G2. I would like to have a lower that I don’t want to deal with the issues. I do have the low profile bolts from FTBR.

Wish the front offset wasn't so aggressive on these, +17 is so much, it's making tire selection difficult.
