Just installed 255/45ZR-18 Toyo Proxes 4 on Chrome 18x9 American racing Torq ThrustM. The things just barely fit.

Looks great! Love the chrome on the color

Now, you just need to drop that thing!

 

too small?

I ordered new rims with the Yoyo T1R
18x8.5 = 255/45/18
18x9.5 = 285/40/18

Should ship Monday.

 

Totally agree!

 

No, too big. the nine inch rims barely fit on the front and just reach the edge of the fender wells.

 

verry nice classic look =)

 

Do you know the offset?

 

Yeah, what is your offset?
I have the AR Torq Thrust M's (Shelby Edition) and my specs are:
18x9 34mm offset fronts
18x10 45mm offset rears

They tuck nicely, but I have ZERO room between the spoke and caliper. In fact I doubt I could slide a sheet of paper between the two. I have no idea how they don't rub.

Originally the shop I bought them from ordered me the incorrect offset. They originally ordered them in the 24mm offset and the rears stuck out nearly a inch outside the fenders. I hated the look and they fixed it. I do believe there was more clearance with the brakes though.

My biggest issue with these wheels is the only brake upgrade I'llbe able to make is a drilled rotor and pads. I won't be able to go with the big brake kits apparently.

Love the rims! They make your car really stand out.

 

Whats the offset?
I have 18x8.5 50mm offset
and was thinking about 255/45-18s.
But if they barely fit......
