just ordered a set of afs 18's. what size is recommended for the front.

im more concerned about the rears. i have h&r ss springs. low profile irs bolts and putting in the mm iso's. do i need a spacer? should i be ok with what i have?

also, theyre either gonna be a 315/35/18 toyo r888 or the 315/40/18 nitto nt05r

I run a 315 30 18 on my 18x11 ccw with h&r sports with one is removed and I don't rub. I also rolled fenders to help. Prior to remove from the is I did not rub without fenders being rolled. I run a 265 35 in the front. It all depends on backspace of wheels

Subd . I'm getting the exact same setup. Where did you find the toyo r888 in 315/35:18?

I'm running 335 with rolled fenders they don't rub except at highways speeds hitting the bridge joints. I have h&r sport springs low profile bolts and I'm not running spacers. for the front I'm running 275's.

Na I've only seen them for $950. But I've read that if you call them they knock off a little bit of money.

You will need atleast a 3/8 spacers and trimmed or rolled quarter lip, low pro irs bolts.

I had H&R sport springs with isolators on my previous 04 with AFS reps and 315/30/18 toyos and it would rub on big dips(ocean pkwy).

O guess I was wrong then lol. I'm going to keep waiting to find a used set. But if I don't in a few months I'm buying new.

ocean pkwy is a pita. im gonna save myself the trouble. h&r race springs, stock isos all the way around, 3/8 spacer, and low pro irs bolts.

hopefully this will be enough lol

I don't want to hijack but I plan on running h&r SS with no iolators and 18x11 wheels also a 315 tire. I have low profile IRS bolts. Could i possibly get by without rolling my fenders>?

I have H&R race, no rear top ISO, 3/8 spacer, Lowpro bolts, no rolled fenders, 18x10.5 in the back, with a 315 tire; no issues whatsoever.

It's all about the offset and backspacing of the wheel.

For example my CCW 18x11 with 305/35/18 R888 fit with no spacer, but i do have the fenders rolled and the low profile bolt ( although not needed ). I am on HR race with top rear iso's removed

With the AFS wheel, I had a friend who had them and did in fact need a 3/8 spacer. You will need to roll the fenders and do the low pro bolt.

yea the more i read people set ups, the sport springs just seem way to low. im just switching to the race springs, keeping the isos in just to save headaches
