Badass!! Currently on T7 TS5 18x9.5 45 275/35 ADVAN V601 on Swifts and no fender modifications yet. Only rubs a tiny bit on really really big dips or bumps 🤙🏼
I’m about to run 265/40/18 +38. After watching this I think I should be good. I’m not lowered and I don’t plan on it until I get those plug and play rsr coil overs.
Great info man. Thank you. Want to get your recommendation. I don't intend to lower my fk8 nor want to get camber kit for it if I don't have to. Fk8 bone stock and intend to keep it that way. All I want is 18 inch volks without any rubbing and don't want to make any modification like fender rolling or trimming. What's the safest way? 18.95+45 tire size 255/40r18 (same diameter as stock) or 265/35r18? I don't want any chance of rubbing even when car is fully loaded. I don't mind if wheels spoke out a little.
Solid vid man Im going 18x10.5 to get a 305 on there Still trying to dial in the offset to keep it from rubbing lol But the hot setup was 305 front/275 rear Im staying stock height 4x4 so it should be a little easier

Awesome video! Currently been debating on getting Swift springs but with my current wheel setup I'm not sure if I'll rub. Currently on 18x8.5 35 offset with Michelin Sport A/S 255/40. Stock cambers and ideally no modifications (cutting, etc). What are your thoughts?
I had 18x8.5 +40 with 265 tires I never rub. Having 255 you won’t rub with swift springs. If interested in a set of springs message me on instagram to place an order via my website. Thanks
I’m on 255/40/18 with 9.5+45. Lowered an inch all around. I had 265/35 but had horrible mpg and the Speedo was of. With 255/40 Speedo is correct and way better mpg and also more comfortable but I do rub in the rear. Currently doing research on where and how to trim but I can’t find any thing good. I only rub in one spot and I don’t want to trim because I’m scared it’ll cut my tire and I also don’t want to trim the whole fender because that’s where the wide body flare hangs on to. I also installed camber arms because my 265/35s were done from the inside in only 33k miles but the outer half was still more than half.
That’s odd you are now having issues with rubbing, it mostly has to do with a taller tire. Next time jack the car you will see where it’s rubbing (probably on the metal side) near the outer tire. Is it only when you go over bumps? Also does it happen on R mode?
I have that same setup with 265. I have ran 3 different 265 and all were different width. Ao52 I did rub a lot more than the other tires. So take that in consideration when ppl say a 275 fits. A 200TW 265 is much wider than some 275 tire. A 275 will need for sure fenders cut. A 265 may just need the front fender bent tab.
Can you talk more about the Federals? Thinking about a budget set up for my CTR. Thinking Super Speed wheels (not sure exactly what design yet) 18x9.5 et38 and Federal 595 RS-RR 265/35. Have heard they run extremely wide and even recall a guy on the forums running a 255/35 which still looked meaty, so would definitely consider that if need be. Will also be lowered on Swift springs. The car is a daily so will see rain, can the Federals be driven in the rain (safely)? They seem R888’ish which I’ve heard are downright scary in the wet. Thanks man!
I use to have federal RSRR Pros on my fk8, 265/35 they do run wide but not as wide as RE71rs or A052. They may rub in the back if car is loaded with stuff. For the rain both my s2k and Fk8 have had them and at least here in California for freeway driving I felt comfortable at 60mphs. I wouldn’t drive them if I knew my streets gets a lot of stagnant water or heavy puddles. Hope this helps!
@@maganamfg Awesome, I greatly appreciate the reply man. Worst case I can always have the shop that I go to “trim” the rear fenders but apparently, per your video, that isn’t necessarily a simple process like rolling a fender. You have to know what you’re doing from the sounds of it.

With the 255 tire, you shouldn’t have any issues. Rear camber arms are recommended to reduce camber wear on tire. Feel free message on IG @maganamfg like to buy a set of arms.
I ran Rpf1s 18x8 +40 and had no issues on 265 tires. If you go +35 I’d say don’t go more than a 255 width. It all depends on your rim spoke design, worse case can add a 5/10mm spacer.
Yes, this is currently what I am running. When I was on A052 my rear would rub at high speeds. (My rear fenders are not rolled/cut). I am currently on Firehawks 265, no rubbing at all.
I have +38 and rubbed at first without bending front fender tab. What tire brand? For example a firehawk is skinnier than an A052 tire. Michelin tend to be skinny also

With +45 you will not poke out. 265/35 offering more grip

I got 18 9.5 45 off set titans great fitment
What about 18x9.5 +22 with 215/40/18 tires with spoon springs minimal drop?
spoon springs don’t drop enough and 215s are pretty skinny for 9.5 so should be fine. rim will poke, tire will be fine
hey very informative video! i was wondering how bad is the rubbing with 18x9.5 + 38 275/35/18? im on the edge about 265 and 275

I mean anyone can chop it up, the hard part imo is sealing it so water doesn’t go behind the skin.
Do you rub at all with passengers in the back with your current wheel specs?
No rubbing due to rear fenders cut. If you didn’t cut them yes they would.
The blue type r what kind of grill cover was that?
Just ordered myself some JR SL01 19x8.5 et37 wrapped in some 265/35 Nankang AR1s. Still on stock suspension but worried about rubbing 🤷🏻♂️
Should be fine, as long clears the BBK. Let me know how it looks once installed never heard of those wheels till now lol

You can lower easily
At stock height what do you recommend to run with on 18” rims?
You can do 265/35 or 275
I have a 19x9.5+35 with 255/35
Would i rub on swift springs?
With the 255 tire, you shouldn’t have any issues.
Rear camber arms are recommended to reduce camber wear on tire. Feel free message on IG @maganamfg like to buy a set of arms.
would some konig neoform rims sized 18x9.5 with an OFFSET of 35 rub my fk8?
Tire size I wanna go with is 255 40 R18 / stock height
You will be perfectly fine at stock height on 255.
Would running 18x8 +35 cause any issues with rubbing or with the brembos?
I ran Rpf1s 18x8 +40 and had no issues on 265 tires.
If you go +35 I’d say don’t go more than a 255 width.
It all depends on your rim spoke design, worse case can add a 5/10mm spacer.

+45 offset with camber kit in front and rear should easily.

Yes, this is currently what I am running. When I was on A052 my rear would rub at high speeds. (My rear fenders are not rolled/cut).
I am currently on Firehawks 265, no rubbing at all.
Would 19" 8.5 et35 with a 255 35 19 on stock hight be ok
Yes it should, 8.5 is not as aggressive so a 255 should easily fit
