Plan on lowering? Or are you already lowered? That's a very aggressive setup.



You'll want to post here for further questions like this. We have a dedicated thread for these types of questions:

18x10.5 +11. -2 camber. You're going to have fun fitting that.

basically unless you're going to put in alot of work, no they will not fit

don't just jump into 10"+ wide wheels. ease your way into the fitment world. Making wheels that wide with such low offsets fit will not be an easy task, but it can definitely be done.

Even the fronts will be a pain in the ass to fit with those specs. You'll need to roll and pull fenders on all corners, and shave bumper tabs. That's on top of cutting your strut towers, and depending on which camber arms you're running you may need to cut/modify those as well.

You'll also need to run a 225 tire at the absolute widest to make them realistically work as a daily setup.

I have no idea what you're talking about. 265 works perfectly.

With how much cutting and modifying? And air ride.

don't jump into that sizes with not knowing enough. that like starting to play hockey and thinking your going to the nhl.

start of with a smaller size. and work your way up. read a lot. spend hours searching different forums etc.

just for the rear alone you will need to roll/pull/ camber arms, toe arms, maybe spacer depending on what you want it to be running -degree wise etc.

and that alone doesn't say there won't be problems.

this is a 10.5 in the rear food for thought.

If you're asking, then no, they wont fit. If you have them professionally fit, you'll need to relearn to drive, too.
