Default PIC REQUEST! 255/35/18 on an 18x10"

I would love to see real life examples of what 255/35/18 tires look like on an 18x10". I need something that will give me a very slight stretch to clear the fenders... and to look good

I'm interested only in the high performance tires, so particularly Hankook RS-3's or Dunlop ZII's are on my top list. If anyone has pictures of these mounted, that would be great! I want to see the stretch difference between different tires of the same size.

Thanks in advance

I know i'm just having fun. To be honest though with such a low pro sidewall you get out of the 18's, they definitely pull on the sidewall more, seemingly running narrower then the 17's counterpart. 285's on a 10x18 actually fits pretty squared up, yet looked a bit shroomed on a 17". But I'm just busting busting balls for the fun of it because I'm bored with the same old threads

For the record, and to help anyone in the future who's interested in a similar setup, I mounted a set of 255/35 Toyo R888's.

From my experience: The Federal RSR's, like in the above pic of my old XD9's (also 18x10" and 255), they are the fattest tires in comparison to similar rivals with lip protectors. More pictures of that can be seen on my website: http://grandmighty.com/2012/09/work-...ht-adjustment/

My other set of wheels are 17x10" RegaMasters with 255/40 RS-3's, and they have a noticeable stretch to them - even in 17" sizing. My desire was to reduce this stretch but still maintain a very slight amount in its profile, which is what led me to the current R888 setup.

Here they are mounted on my Advans, the R888's sit quite square. Let me know what you think.
