Anyone ever attempt to stuff them in? If so what size tire did you run, and did they rub?

I have 18X8 on mine tires are 235/40-18. Did not rub at all with stock springs. Switched to intrax and cutted off a coil from springs. Even then it would rub slighlty but i would have to hit a bump or pothole pretty hard.

Were those wheels on your car before the custom flares?

And did you cut your springs to be lower or did you have to for some crazy reason?

Thanks for the response.

Yes the wheels were on ther before the flares. Cut the spring to be lower since it looked really "jacked up".

I had 18x8" American Racing Vortec rims with 235/40/18's on my black '89.

I believe the rim had 38mm offset. They fit great. I only had to roll the rear fender lip on one side. Other than that, they did not rub. Car was stock height, though.

Give me a few minutes, and I'll upload a pic.
