Any pics on 18" wheels

Do any one have pics on 285/35zr18 97y? Also will they fit without doing a fender roll and BFH?

The tires will fit fine in the back, with the correct offset on the wheels. There are guidelines in the FAQ for width vs. offset, that will help you pick a wheel that will fit correctly and not require the BFH. In the front, again, with the right wheels, there should be minimal problems with that size tire. Maybe a tiny bit of rubbing on the plastic fender liners with the wheels at full lock... but nothing serious.

Front = 245/40/18
Rear = 275/35/18

I was worried about rubbing in the front hence the 245/40s but most have no issues with 275/35s in front, and the rear is pretty much spot on compared to stock, so no speedo adjustment required

96Z do you have better pics? Like some side shots or close-ups of the wheels? It would be much appreciated.

Here's a few I took last fall just farting around quickly:
Angle
Front Close up
Rear Close Up

Unfortunately the car is hidden the garage at the moment, but remind me in month or so I can take a few more if you like
