I rather not stretch it as I am in NY and the roads are horrible as is. I have never stretched a tire before and don't plan to. If it can be done without stretching, cool, if not, then I will have to drop the rim's width.

Thanks for your input though! I should have said I really don't want to stretch a tire to fit.

I also don't have rolled fenders yet.

Here is my car....4X4 Status. As you can see, I need a rim and coilover setup but not before my fuel setup.

I just looked at my friends stock body 89 NA on eibachs and 18s and came to a conclusion...follow me through another thought experiment if you will.

Consider this: we have an 18x9.5+35 in the rear, with a 265/35, at stock height. For the sake of simplicity (this setup is actually a really nice easy one) this theoretical fitment rubs pretty hard at full compression. So, we roll our fenders flat, right? Well, because of the way it sucks in the wheel package, we could also throw coilovers on the car and drop it to where it's tucking a tiny part of the tire, and it shouldn't rub either...because the fender lip is about as wide as the clearance you gain from the drop. Doing both, you could run an extra 1/2" of rim/tire width on the outside of this package without pulling the fender. Pulling the fender (as BorHor has proved) can net us another 1" or so, if we're careful with tire selection, and we might be able to squeeze another 1/2" out of a good camber setting and even more scrutiny on tires.

BorHor, how did you manage to pull the fender that far anyways? Pie cut the lip and pull baby, pull?

Tyres are 245/40 fronts and 265/35 rears. No roll yet, but need to roll fronts badly! Rears don't rub, just misses due to camber... I think I'll roll the rears aswell and dial in less camber...

People say upt to 3 degrees negative at the front and 2.5 negative at the rear but you're car would have to be pretty low to achieve this with the stock control arms. What offsets are your 11 inch wheels at the back? You'll be cutting it pretty fine on the inside.

Any input is gladly appreciated. I just want to know what other modifications i need to do in order for this to fit. I found them on craigslist and am really leaning towards purchasing them. I don't know if this helps but currently I'm on tokico blues/h&r springs.

I wouldnt say no problem. 11 +16 is going to hang shitloads. You wont be able to run much tyre with that set up, maximum 265 at the rear I think. Front wont be easy either but lots of stretch and rolling/pulling of your gaurds.

Well he posted the tire sizes along with the wheels sizes so it should fit. Im running 10inch +15offset with 235/40 on coilovers with just a roll. Still plenty of room to play with. Since hes just on springs it should fit. Might look weird though.

My mk3 has 225/60-16s. (on the car when I bought it) I'm putting on H&R lowering springs, are these still going to fit or am I going to have to buy new tires?
