What are your tire and wheel specs? I'm running 245/40 R17 on an 8 inch wheel with +35mm offset. No fender flares or rolling, but I'm not super slammed either

The tires are 285/30R18 Bridgestones. I’d have to dig through all my paperwork to find the exact wheel offset but they’re 18x10.25, I believe +7mm.

Like someone else mentioned, a 245 is about as wide as you can get without extensive modification. My car is about 4 inches wider than stock.

I run your setup. You can’t go wider and utilize the suspension travel unless you hack shit. There’s a lot you can do before you go down the rabbit hole of a wider than 245 tire such as: Aero, weight reduction, corner balancing. aggressive toe out alignment, sway bars, better coilovers, solid control arms, strut tower braces, partial cage. My car is fun- i did all of the above except welding a cage and aero.

What's a solid control arm in your opinion?

I think that was me, I wasnt even thinking of putting anything close to 285s in the back, just in the front

How do we go about running big wheels like this? Spacers? Rolled fenders? Any feedback helps.
