Should be fine, I run 225/40/18 in front and 265/35/18 in the ear and I feel like the rear tires arn't quite wide enough for a 10" wheel. When my set of PSS's are shot I'll get some 285/30's

235/40 ZR 18 X 8 50et front
295/30 ZR 18 X 11 45et back

On my 86 turbo, I had to run a 1 inch spacer on the front and a thin space on the rear(19mm if I remember correctly)

On my 90 S2 cab, I am running no spacer on the rear and had to roll the heck out of the rear fender and even flex/stretch/bend the fender out to clear the tires. On the front, I am running a thin spacer just so i have clearance from the bearing dust cap to fit the wheel center caps.

Ok, it fits just fine.

11j et65 with a 32mm spacer. Makes it a 11j et33 and no issues at all. No rubbing just a perfect fit with the 285/30/18 tyres


With a 18mm spacer the wheel could not turn. Just a few mm more would have worked. But only had the 32mm

Is that sitting at your ride height? Seems pretty high from that pic. Tyre looks somewhat stretched.

Agree with Patrick, the fitment looks nice but you need to bring that *** down a few inches.

Just of the jack, will shoot some pics today with the finished look. But a few inches lower? I do have to drive the car and we have a lot of speedbumps in Holland.
