Will these wheels fit?
Hi.
So I plan to get some 18" wheels. Right now, my stocks are on 17's. The tire size are 215/45/17 for the front and 225/45/17 for the rear. What tire size is ideal for 18" with a drop of just tucking a little tire? Thanks in advance. EDIT: Found some 19" VMR's that I might just get instead. 5x120 8.5 33 front 9.5 35 rear with 235/35/19 front tires and 265/30/19 rear tires. That size seems fine right?

You also want to stay within 3% of your stock setup.
You can use this calculator to help you figure that out. I've found it helpful. http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator |

The 15 offset is pretty small; the wheels and tires will be pushed out almost 1" (35mm is standard), and the rears will probably rub. |

Offsets are off. 30 front, 35 rear are normal. 255 are a bit wide for 8" and will pucker a bit. 8.5 is normal. You will need to roll and stretch to fit. Plus camber.
