The "Will it fit?" thread

[OptionZero]

OH MY GOD

Following that exchange between jhammond and pumpgas is making my fuckin head hurt.

ARGH

1) Regarding the wheel diameter difference:
255/35/18 is 25 inches
265/40/18 is 26.3 inches

That is a 1.3 inch difference. 1.3 inches is 5.2% of 25 inches. You are likely to experience warning lights due to this difference.

2) Why your setup looks and fits different than this setup you're looking at:
Thats a 265/35/18. You bought, apparently because they're cheap, 265/40/18. Thats obviously a taller tire AND the linked car has -2.4 deg camber, which solves the rubbing issue

Combine lack of camber and taller tire = rubbing more than that guy.

Your car naturally gains negative camber as you go lower, but the correct way to do it is to buy adjustable suspension parts, roll your fenders, and then you can run whatever wheels you want.

If you want a cheap fix, just get the 265/35 and pound your fenders

but you really should just buy the fukin SPL and save yourself future headache
