Hi guys,

I need help! According to the excel FD Wheel and Tire Sizing file it fits but shall I trust?

I plan to go for Rota Torque (Work CR Kai replicas):
FR: 18x8.5 ET35. The Work would give ET32 or 38
RR: 18x9.5 ET35. The Work would give ET38.

Fitted with 235/40/18 FR & 265/35/18 RR.

WILL THIS FIT W/O ROLLING THE FENDERS ???

+ I have on the car Tein S-Tech springs...

PLease help before I make a bet and waste my money.

Thanks guys!

Its cutting it close on the rear but should be ok. Just don't recall how much drop those springs have.

Right, I forgot to mention this: 1.3"FR & 1.4" RR.

I currently run 17x9.5 +38 Gram Light 57C on my MB FD with 265/40/17s. No problems at all.
