Depends on the offsets. Rotas don't have great offsets so rolling fenders and neg camber increases are usually required along with smaller tires like 215 in front and 245 in the rear.

225/40-18 works with a 50mm offset in the frt
255/35-18 works with a 55mm offset in the rear


You're really not that far off

To get some serious rubber on there you will definitely have to roll the sxxt out of your fenders and go with -2 camber in the rear. When you go to 18" wheels you really want as much offset as possible so you can make full use of your rubber selection. You could always roll your stock fenders and mold rear over-fenders on.

Please run from that tire guy. Run far far away.


The -2* means that on top of rolling the fenders you will need to run atleast -2 degrees in the rear and. I would suggest finding the setting for the euro alignment
