Yeah, they stick out about as far as I thought they would. The wheel style would look great if they didn't stick out. Obviously that's a personal thing, though. I'd also be worried about bumps. Mine are about dead even with the fender well, so mine just barely tuck if I were to bottom out.

MT recommends a 9.5" wheel for this tire, but I saw a couple other people running them on 9's, so we'll see. Was it a risk? yeah, but all the other options were way too small. I'll just need to keep an eye on my fenders for rubbing. They do stick out more than I hoped, i wish they'd come out with a terminator wheel in 35 or 40mm offset! all told though, i think they look pretty nice. All black definitely fits better

i like the new rims better than the olds, however i'd atleast roll your fenders before you drive the car. There isnt much tucking tire with a solid rear, and id worry about messing up your rear fenders with that tall of an 18inch tire, not much room at all. Im sure you already know all of this! P.S. i was in the crew for the mermaid festival cruise for brenspeedthen to wawasee. never get on here much...

yeah. I realize all of this. I'm just gonna have to try it and see what happens. I had an '01 cobra that the tires stuck out on too. I didn't notice an increase in rock dings, but whenever it rained it definitely made the car much dirtier from throwing road water everywhere. we'll see though. I can always go to a Nitto or something that's more appropriately sized, just thought i'd try this first. I couldn't find anyone else who had on this body style. BlackS197 was closest, and that stance looked phenomonal. I'd still have to say i love how mine looks, if all the other issues work out!
