so if i go with that same size like 18x9 or whatver all on 4 corners, and just run like the same 255 series tire will they fit or will i have to run like a 245 and they wont rub, bacause all that i have found on this subject is what to run in the rear on the lipped version. thank you and anyone who has possibly this setup that isent staggard can you please post pics because most people are going with teh staggard setup and are having to roll the fenders and i dont want to mess with that. thanks

nice choice, I am thinkin of getting a set of those wheels for my goat...

i think..(and someone correct me pls if I am wrong) that you could run the 18x9.5's with 255 on the tire size without rubbing/rolling fenders. I'm not sure if the 275s require rolling!?!? I am hoping someone who already has them mite chip in their $.02 cause I am also interested...

...and typeR, I can't wait to see those pics!!!!

If you use the 9.5" wide rims, the 285s and 275s DO NOT fit without rolling the lips. I had to do extensive rolling to clear my 275/40-18 Toyos. I think that 265s would be close.

255s all around would be the safe set-up that would allow you to rotate the tires if you stick with the 8.5" rims.

If you stick with the 8.5" rim in the rear, you can fit 265s and maybe 275s. Basically the smaller rim width would move the tires an extra 1/2" in to the wheel-well.

Attached are some pics of my car with the staggered setup.

You have to remember that these wheel have a smaller offset (40mm vs. 48mm stock) which pushes the wheels out further. The rims are also wider than stock (both sizes) which will also push the wheels out further.

Hope this helps :cool:

Very inexpensive rims, about $250 each as I recall.

Total package with the Toyo Proxies, mounting & road force balancing, lugnuts & shipping was around $1500.

I will start a new post with nice pictures taken today outdoors.
