You could go up to 235/40 front without any issue.

Rear 295/30 would work too. However it is on the wide side for a 10J rim. It also depends on the specific geometry of the tire itself. Some brands will settle better then others.

I ran bridgestone s02a 295/30 on this 5 spoke carrera rim. You see the tire shoulder is not completely square. Now running Yokohama 295/30 AD08r and it is a pretty straight fit.

What size and offset are the stock 18" upgraded wheels. What is the best size tire to go with on these 18" stock wheels that would be wider than stock tires but still meets spec for wheel width with no rubbing?

First up the RS-808 Wheels $1599/set













Gorgeous. But the website says 19" and up. Typo?

We have both the 18" and 19" option, the 18" out of the box will keep you at $1599 so you're not blowing $5,000 on a set of wheels.


If you are able to blow that kind of cash on wheels then we can also offer a custom build with other styles....
