Hi all ive done a search but my searchign skills suck ass. basically i have a set of p1s at home and wanted to know if theyd fit under my stock guards (they have been rolled though).
rears are 265*35*18 on a 9" wide +45 offset wheel
fronts are 235*40*18 on a 8" wide +38 offset wheel.
all guards are rolled and running stock suspension on lowered springs.
thanks guys
John
depend how low and how much camber ur running...also depends on your definition of fit...
rear looks ok...although i would prefer the 235 on the 9"
front will definetely sticks out a little bit...
a bit too aggressive for my liking on the front...

As na mentioned, yes they'll easily fit if you are after an agressive look, though tyre width could cause a problem. I've got 9.5" for the rears coming in a +38. These 'fit' without any hassles, but mine isn't slammed, rear guards have been slightly pushed out and even then the rims will still be sticking out a bit. It all depends on what your after. IMO i think it will look good.

Rear tyres are too fat man, try 245's they will look good without looking too stretched. You won't really notice stretch but yea those rims should look focking awsome :)

i was running 18x8.5 +40 rears. With a 245 tyre i had to relocate rear bumper tab, trim the rear bumper, roll guards and dial in some camber.
if i had to do it all over again id go for the 17x9 +45 all round setup! lol

I'm running 265s on the rear on 9" rims but have a 61mm offset.
On the front I have 235s on 8" with a 55mm offset.
Car is lowered about an inch. No changes to the guards or tabs. No rubbing.

oh cool. i have the tyres at home already on the rim so i was thinking of swapping them over as my current tyres have some pretty bad camber wear. scrubbing may be an issue for me as i only have stock struts and car is lowered on kmac (needs to go!) springs.
thinking of switcing springs back to oem which i have as well! might try putting them on next week, stay tuned for photos hehe

thats awesome almost similar specs (if i used spacers! lol). it must be hard finding wheels with such high offsets?
my cars lowered 35mm (probably more as the springs sag). might be an issue

yup 245s are my preferred size, however i ahve the 265s already as they were for my s15 (which needed the extra traction lol)

Cool. It should look pretty fat with that offset, why standard ride height though?

because of bad scrubbage! haha i trial fitted them the other day with the lowered springs and it looks sick, but as soon as i got down the driveway they started to scrub real bad. need some stretched tyres to make em fight under these guards but i just got these tyres so it would be a waste
