will i have issues with rubbing? i would have loved to get 18x10s out back but i didnt have the money at the time and 10" tires are way more $$ to replace.
i've been looking at getting a set of 1.5" wheel spacers for a while now. i have 265-35-18s, will i have issues with rubbing if i bottom out? the reason im so paranoid is because i have HR SS lowering springs with no ISOs.. if any body knows if this setup will rub lemme know, thanks.

you'll be fine. i have 18x9's with 255/45's on the front and 275/35's on the rear and don't bottom out at all, my car is also lowered, i was told it had eibachs that lowered it almost 2 inches.

also, i would go without the spacers, my wheels sit at the perfect spot where they are just about flush with the fenders and dont stick out at all. imo cars look horrible when their tires stick out, unless it's a jeep or something. also spacers make the drivetrain week and you're a lot more likely to break the spacers if you get traction with your new tires andput any type of torque to them.

yeah i allready decided i want them, i just wanted to know if they will rub...

Will the 18x10 saleens do well in this setup? without spacers of course.

Budders I'm running 275s with my 18x9s....youll be fine. I've never rubbed my tires on the fender, even being lowered on H&R SS's with 4 people in the car.

Bump, ready to purchase wheel spacers. didnt really get an answer to the original question here! can any one help!

Those are some tiny tires for the rears, I have spacers out the back and I run 18x10 in the rear. I would think if your shocks/struts are old you'd bottom out. as long as those are solid I think you'll be fine. just get em, they made my rear tires flush with my body lines.

budders... do NOT purchase spacers if you are not sure they will work!

You need to measure to confirm clearance and can do so with the steps in Choosing a new tire. Look under "I want fat meats" section for a how-to. Beyond this.... I think 1.5" spacers are a bad idea and already posted on this exact question earlier today ***HERE*** on MM's.

I run 18x9s with 275s out front and 18x10.5s with 315s out back lowered on h&rs and I have no rubbing issues at all and I don't use spacers.
