If you look on Tyrestretch.com and look at 215/40/18 10" those are my wheels with Yoko s-drives to get an idea of how they look (the yokos)
yea my oz's are 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 et32
So you'd recommend I dont even run a 40 series?
Just 215/35?
I never actually even thought of that to be honest.
what are the specs of those wheels^^^
Yeah, I know those ones are yours, that's how I figured i'd run 205/40/18 and 215/40/18, haha.
Now question for you. Can you lay frame with your setup?
My fronts are 18x9ET38, 18x10ET40. Goign to pull the rear fenders to tuck the 10. Now for the Fronts, I sit 6MM further inwards than you. I should have enough strut clearance, if not, I guess i'll pick up a set of 5MM Spacers.
How much strut clearance do you have? I also have Airlift Slam XLs.
Ahh. So assuming you pulled 1.25 and 1.75...
I wonder if I can get away without front fender modification and lay frame? Or is that something that's just not going to happen?
As for the Rears, assuming that i'm not as wide as you, .5 less to be exact, I would guess somewhere around 1.25 to 1.50 would be a perfect pull to tuck 10s on an ET40?
Up front I would, out back I'd stick with the 40 so the stretch isn't as extreme. it really all depends on your preference.
It's also hard to guess without testing the wheel. It's going to poke 3mm more up front than my Alphards did. I ran a 35 series up front and it fit perfect. Hit the ground without any obstruction with the wheel / tire / fender
i would get the wheels on the car and the air installed before you start any body work to see if they are going to fit the way you want
Your estimates on fender pull is nearly exact to what I am doing. Spot on practically...
