tires are Hoosier R6 255/40/18

Front tires are 100% flush. Rears stick out about 1/8"
Update: I just fitted JIC 18x9.5 wheels, 45 offset, with 275/35R18 KDWs. And the car is lowered with the new H&R springs.

Works great, no rubbing in the front at all. Rear fenders need a slight roll where the biggest part of the lip is. 265s would probably clear fine. Inside has plenty of room. I suspect you could actually go 265 on the stock wheels.

The 9.5" wheels look awesome. I'll get a picture.

Original Post updated today with new additions since last time. If folks could, make sure to put in the model of tire and model of wheen along with the Make. At some point I will throw up a website that has this all in it.

Here are the pics of the Volk LE28n's in 18x8.5 with 245/40/18 tires mounted on my '08:

Would 18x9.0 +30 mount up okay on the 08s? I looked at the offset calculator and I think it would, but I'm a noob and some confirmation would be awesome.

I wouldn't go that low of an offset. I'm going 18x9 +45 and I'd be cautious going any lower. Even at what I'm doing I might need some camber adjustment and an alignment.
