silvia240 is an unknown quantity at this point
Thanks flipray for the advice. I am going to get my fenders pulled first and go from there. I am with you, I would like to keep most of my tires on the asphalt.

Same suspension as silvia240, can you post pic of your car silvia240? Thanks in advance

Fronts I am running 225/40/18 on a 18x9.5 +12 wheel. That fits no problem. I an just going to roll the front fenders and I think I will be able to go pretty low. Its just the rears that will need massaging (roll + pull) to make it fit.
*pictures not the best angles, especially none from the front, but you can see there is plenty of space left.



As for hrdprkin180, from what i have read (i am probably wrong) you need a lot of work to run 18x10.5's up front. Most of the guys I have seen running wider on the front have new wider fenders. Good luck with those and post some pics when you squeeze those up there.
