Possible wheel fitment?
 
I got a set of wheels from a buddy. All I know is that they are 18x10. There is no offset stamped on the wheels.
My fenders are already pulled and the wheel still sticks out 1.5 inches from the fender.
With my old wheels, there is a 2 finger gap between the tires and fender.
My rear camber is around 1.75 and I have a set of 275/35 tires that I wanted to put on.

I'm not really fond of stretched tires or crazy negative camber.

When the shock is compressed, does the wheel move towards the car or away?

Do you think this is possible with my setup?

wheel moves inward (away from fender) once compressed

if you dont want stretched...

run 245 with about -2.5 to -3 camber

try putting a piece of 2x4 on a jack and jack the wheel up..see how much room you have

Not when the car is rolling.

In the front, McPherson struts will cause the wheels to lean outward in roll.

Yeah, put load on the wheel and see where it ends up

But it looks kinda doubtful, if you gonna use a 275 and dont want to run a lot of camber

Hard to tell in the pics tho cause the glare and the black body color (at least on my monitor)

If you know you want to run 275, and you want to run that wheel, just mount the wheel and tire and make it fit

Looks doubtful if you want to run a 275... Maybe a 255 might clear it?

I asked a technical question. Go be a troll somewhere else.
If you ever want your wheels back you'll help with my new setup.

I'll try to 2x4 and post some better pics.

hmmm...let me rephrase that...the wheels will lean outward under compression when you do a hard turn

but when you are driving straight, the wheels will go inward when ihe suspension compresses
