No one responds to your posts!

Well wouldnt your question depend on the wheels and the offset? Or are we assuming stock wheels?

That might help people answer you :biggrin:

We've run 255/35/18's on the stock rears & a 5mm spacer. You don't need the spacer though. It'll work fine without them.

I already have the 10mm spacers, thus my question :iono:.......... did you have enough extra space that you could have been ok with the extra 5mm on your setup (had you ran 10mm)? or was 5mm about the max?

Depends on the brand of tires. But I would have to say 95% yes, it will clear with a 10mm.

We had the Toyo R1R's mounted on there, and there was plenty of room. But the R1R's are a "skinny" 255. Some tires are like balloons (Nitto NT555), some are in between (Nevoa's, Dunlop's).

Worst case scenario, pick up a set of 5mm spacers from Terry @ Vorshlag.
