Will Stock 18" wheels rub on 275/35/18 and spacers
Hi guys, I'm fairly new and just don’t have much time to spend hours and hours on the forum with my job, so I apologies in advance please don’t bash the thread because I didn’t go searching the forum.
I'm looking to upgrade the stock look
Ideally I would like to run 275/35/18 rear
245/40/18 front Michelin PSS
12mm h&r spacers in front and 10mm h&r spacers rear
does anyone with experience know if this set up will rub?
or guide me to a thread to answer my question?

Depends on rubber. 275s will rub if you have 10mm spacers and a drop. 265s should not rub but depends on rubber brand and car. Some people have run 265s w/ 10mm spacer and been fine, some have rubbed with exact same setup, but most of the time they won't with 10mm spacer.
The front you will more than likely rub with 12mm spacers, 245s and a drop.

I believe Autosport is not lowered either. Your rear tires will stick out a bit with 275 & 10mm spacers. You will only rub with passengers I guess.

12mm is too far out even with 255, but again u r at stock height so u should be ok.
I would go 265 w/10mm at most.
275 on 18x9 might be too meaty on sidewalls & compromise the stability of the car in cornering, like that mushy feels.

yea i want to go as wide as possible give it a"beefy" look I know autosport is 265 with 12mm spacers in rear which so far seems to be the widest and he has no complaints thats why I wanted to see if anyone has experience with 275 10mm or 275 12mm as I will not be lowering the car

At stock height, u will definitely be fine with no passenger @ 275-12mm combo. U get more choice than lowered.
Again, 275 on 18x9 is not the best set up from reading ppl feedbacks. Ppl said 275 works better in 19" wheels.

Daily driver w/ 5 passengers at time.. No go at 275 with any spacers size.
Just do 275 alone if u want the beefy look. The fat sidewalls will help make them look flush.

Search for member khmergod, he tried 10mm with 265 PSS & rubbed. Props to those who pulled it off at 265 w/10 or 12mm rear.
