I have 18 by 9.5 0 offset the 265/35/18 clear fine in the rear I rolled the pinch weld however I'm worried about the front... the front is 18 by 9.5 0 offset also with a 245/40/18 tire car is lowered on Megan lowering springs and kyb struts. The tire wore the hood cable but not the harness on the driver side thank god. I drove the car lightly however now it's good to go I'm worried at full lock or a big bump my fenders gonna rip off lol can I just put the car on jack stands and Jack under the control arm to make sure? Sorry if I'm rambling I'm not into the Tim aspect to much I just made an impulse by on some rotas. . I will post pix thanks

If you just wanna show us your Rotas on Megan springs, save yourself the trouble. Zilvia doesn't care.
Yes, you should sell your car and buy a lifted truck. Clearance for days.

Pull the fenders and run some camber...not exactly rocket science. But yah, you probably want to relocated that fender harness before bad things happen to it.

I know I have 225/50/17 on the front and they rub my fenders and strut tower and used to have 235/50/17s on the rear that again rub the strut tower. Just put 235/45's on the rear. Not sure if they rub yet or not, but I would hate to see the clearance on 18's. Previous owner put these tires with some kind of infinity rims on this thing and they are just too big. Also have silvia front fenders that these tires are rubbing on.
