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

RE: New Wheels
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.
