Well i was going to wait until next year to get my wheels finished but i cant stand seeing them sit in my room. BBS RK 18x8.5 18x10 rears. I decided to go with 255/35/18 up front but my question is that if anyone runs 305/35/18 nitto nt05r and does the tire rub because of the sportlines? If i have to get my fenders rolled i will. Thanks

I've got 285 in the rear with Eibach Pros and I rub on one side. Going to do my fenders tomorrow.

I have 285 in the rear and I rubbed back on the passenger side with sportlines. I ended up rolling that one fender. I got a feeling (Hope not) you're going to have to do the same. :(

I had to roll the drivers side with mine. You shouldn't have any clearance issues on the inside with the rk's. When I put my rk's on, I had a friend look at my car and keep an eye on the lips to make sure they didn't come close the tire while I was slowly driving over a curb and articulating the rearend. Can't wait to see them!!!

I've got 295s on some BBK 1.5" (had Ford B springs before and it sat about the same) on 18x10.5s and I had to roll my fenders and slightly bend down the parking brake loop. Nothing bad tho
