Hello all,

I've dug through several threads but there are so many variations and variables and combinations people are running.

I am on stock suspension looking at moving to: 18x9 ET35 with rims with 255/45R18 tires.

Will this fit? If it only will fit with spacers, where & how thick?

If there are any recommendations (changing some dimensions) that will help, fire away!

Looking to fill the empty wheel well space as well as ditch the run-flats.

No that won’t fit at all. I’m not even try to give you advise, begin with your homework and search the forums, similar questions have been asked numerous times

Wheels should fit, tires are too tall. You'd want 255/35 at most. I've heard of people running 255/40 with mixed results, some say they rubbed too much, others said was fine. But 45 is way off. If putting different tires on, there are plenty of other sizes that would work too.

The wheels should work, if there's an issue it would be from touching the struts. If so, spacers just thick enough to recreate the needed gap.

You mean that community that doesn’t walk away from the forum after it’s question has been answered??
