running 295/45 zr18's????

[pumpkinman]

there is a guy on our local board selling some 295 - 45 - Z R 18 Goodyear Eagles F1

and my question is would i need to modify something on my car so they wont hit the inner fenders???? would i have to roll the fender lip?


btw i have some 18x 9.5 wheels


also is $200 for all 4 tires a good deal?

btw my car sits at stock height

What is your offset on your 18x9.5's? They may fit just fine. My car has big spacers on it and 275's are the biggest I can do right now.

BTW- Those F1 GS tires are REALLY noisy if they are the run flats!!! They are what I have right now

lol i have no idea what the offset is lol all i know its their 18x9.5 lol

you will probably need to roll the fenders. and you might have to cut the bump stop as well

the bump stop is on the underside of the car's body directly over the rear axle so that if you hit a bump hard enough to bounce the rear all the way up, it hits the rubber bump stop vs slamming into the body of the car. depending on the wheels and their backspacing, people have reported that the inside of the wheels rub/grind/catch on the bumpstop. and they have to cut it in half widthwise (if you were looking at it dead on from the front or rear)
