17x10 and 17x9.5 et38 - 265 and 255s issues?
Hey guys,
ordered some asm/shine front and rear fenders and will be ordering some rpf1s in the next week.
I was wandering what size is best to go for with the fenders?
Obviously 10" with a 265 is perfect but will it handle poorly?
9.5" same question really but with the 255 will it handle poorly?
Not really sure what other options I have as I don't want to go to low on the offset with a 17x9 et22.
My car is lowered a good 2"+ and has -3 rear and -2.5 front camber, I really just don't want the tyre to look to big and don't want the handling to be worse than now with 17x9 17x8.5 et38s, oem tyre sizes.
Cheers for the advice

Once you lower the car and add the fenders and lower the offset the tire sizes are really going to be a trial and error. Unfortunately there are a lot of variables on what is going to fit. The 255/35R18 will fit fine and handle fine on the 18X9.5 wheel. I would say that if they fit the 265/35R18 will fill up the wheel better.
If I can help just let me know.

My oem front fenders are flared out 30mm and I have asm flares in the rear. With my set of white volks I am running a 17x8 +35 with a 255/40/17 front and a 17x9 +35 with a 275/40/17 in the rear. The car handles great and the meaty tires really fill out the fender wells.
