Fresh out of the oven.

Picked up a set of OZ Ultraleggera in pretty rough shape. Luckily I have a friend with a powder coat shop. Now to figure out the right tire size. Wheels are 18 x 8 and 18 x 9 et 40. My car is slightly lowered on M Performance suspension. I've been running 235/40/18 and 255/35/18 on 261M wheels. Would like to stay with this tire size. Pilot Sport 4S. Anyone have any experience with a setup like this ?

Lovely wheels - gut feel is you're going to rub both front and back. You might be able to get away with going back to stock sizing which will add some room.

The point where the fender meets the bumper in the rear is the typical point, as well as the tab that attaches the front bumper to the fender.

The front will probably fit without much work (may need some front camber). The rears are a big problem, you'll probably need to really pull the fenders or do the e91 rear hub swap (which makes an ET40 fit like an ET50).
