I'm replacing my rear wheels with 285/35 R18. I looked under the car and looks like it won't rub against the inner fender. I looked for pictures but i wasn't able to find anything. The offset is +22mm so I was wondering if it would stick out a little and stand flush with the fender. Any info will be highly appreciated.

You found a 285? Not a 295?

You should be fine. What width rim? 10"?

Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, the rim size is 18X10 with a 2" lip. I think it'll look good especially after I get rid of the 4x4 look.

Check out the wheels.

Don't go smaller than a 295 on a 10" rim or you won't have adequate protection for the rim lip.

Good looking out. I had totally forgot about that. The stock tire size doesn't give proper protection to the rims and I ended up curbing the wheel.

Thanks again.
