Without any modifcations to the wheel well or fender. Thanks for your opinion.

My Budnik M5's in 18x10 fit without cutting. Front tires are 275's, rears are 295's - no problem.

What are the specs on those wheels? Would a 295 have enough room up front as well do you think?

thanks

I had a custom set of Anteras 309 18x10 all around with a 44mm offset with 275-35 tires. No clearance issues even with 1.5 lowering springs!

Nice rims Troy!

Sharp looking cars guys. thanks for the input... i think 38mm on the rear looks good. Would a 40mm have a deeper lip or a smaller one?

BattyV6,

When you say "specs", are you referring to the backspacing? I had that info saved, but lost it in a hard drive disaster. I think the bs is ~7.3" but am not sure.

When I ordered them from Budnik, they knew that 18x10's would fit with no problem, they can probably give you whatever details you want.

295's in front? Most likely no, they would rub at full lock and I was not going to have that. The 275's are close enough for me.
