Now the rears the widest you can go with 18" is 9.5. 19" and above allows 10" wide on a sedan and I think 11" are possible on utes.
F6-GHIA Member 27 Member For: 16y 6m 5d Posted 08/08/10 05:38 AM Author Posted 08/08/10 05:38 AM Sweet.... I've got 265s on my rear with 18inch typhoon rims and I know there is still room for at least 285s

F6-GHIA Member 27 Member For: 16y 6m 5d Posted 08/08/10 06:08 AM Author Posted 08/08/10 06:08 AM On 18x8 typhoon rims.... they fit perfectly, protect the lip of the rims and grip like you wouldn't believe
