Fold your fenders. It will fit.

EDIT: Are you dropping the car? If yes, then fold it, if not no need.

Quick guide to tire sizing, lets start with a 205/55/16 tire. The first number 205 is the width of the tire in millimeters, the second number is the aspect ratio which tells you how tall the sidewall is, with our example the width of the tire is 205 and the aspect ratio is 55 so the sidwall is 55% the width of the tire so the sidewall is 112.75 mm tall. The last number 16 is the rim diameter, which is pretty self explanitory, a tire labeled a 16 will fit a 16" rim. How do you tell which tires will fit where, tirerack has a pretty good spec sheet on all their tires in the different sizes offered, when I go 20 mm wider with a tire, I generally go down 5 % in aspect ratio, so starting with a 205/55/16 tire with an outside diameter of 24.6 inches, I can go to a 225/50/16 tire with an outside diameter of 24.6 inches, and wider yet I'll be going with a 245/45/16 tire with a diameter of 24.4 inches.

if you have a real aggresive drop you will rub like crazy. im running 235/45/19 with a 34 offset.

just dont drop too much or run bigger than 235 and you should be ok.

awesome wheels btw.

38 offset.. wouldn't that stick out a bit?? but good luck

[IceDouTGaLanT]

i'm rolling on 19x8.5 +48mm 225/35zr19 volks on tein ss-p. i choose that tires size because it is the closest to stock diameter so as not to throw off my speedo... my next set of tires will be 235/35zr19. w/ any drop, you will have to roll the rear fenders, no question; especially if you camber correct the rear. CALI is running a low offset (34mm) to clear his evo brakes but his wheels are 8"wide (1/2" narrower). the extra 1/2" is 1/4" on each side of the rim. since 1"=25.2mm, thats about 6.5mm more rim per side. so your wheels will stick out 2.5mm more than his (34mm - 38mm + 6.5mm). it will be tight but w/ the flares, it should sit perfect.

So who thinks I can fit 275's under my g.

[Reelax]

So who thinks I can fit 275's under my g.

you can fit 335's w/ the right offset/width wheel. get some stiffer springs/dampers w/ 0" drop and remove the front fenders and linings and u should be fine... really ugly but it'll work.

[6G72gearhead]

Man I can only imagine how that would stick, I'd probably need either a different steering box or a limiter to keep from rubbing through turns.

Man thats street mod champion territory with the right driver, we know the engines can be pushed to put out 400 hp.

[9G]

It will stick.

can't wait to see them fender flares man..
