will 265/35/18 fit on VMR CSL wheels?

Mitch1er · 03-22-2010, 01:01 AM

hello there, i'm currently running some 255/35/18 on my VMR CSL replica wheels and would like to know if 265/35/18 will fit. i found a GREAT deal on some 265/35/18 hankook V12 but i want to make sure it'll fit. I have stock suspension. thanks

they will fit.. now will they rub? That's the real question.

Will rolling the fenders fix it?

Don't believe so.. many members are rubbing with 255's on rolled fenders..

Mitch1er · 05-06-2010, 08:38 PM

so is there anyway to mount 265/35/18 on the CSL replica without rubbing on stock suspension?

Yes, they will rub, and quite a lot as well, even the small bumps you'll rub. Even with rolling the fenders, you'll probably have some issues.

i dont rub anymore even with people in the car on 255 with a roll. with 265 I wouldnt be sure....

a buddy of mine ran a 265 and didnt rub but his fenders were rolled and pulled

i got 275/30/19 and i only rub when the car is full or when i hit big dips. btw, i didnt want 275's, tire store ordered wrong size and didnt feel like waiting 4 more days so they said we should try it.

Here is a few shots of CS7 wheels with 265/35/18 on a Clap's 1er. Slight fender rolled on the rear fenders. The precise offset of the 18x9.0 CS7 allows for wider tires to fit.
