You can MAKE them work, it's just not ideal. You are going to have to roll and possibly flare the front fender, trim the liner, and negative camber would be your friend. Rear will require a roll and fender tab relocation.

It's impossible to say for sure without knowing the offset on the wheels, and what kinda suspension you've got. You'll probably rub a little at stock height.

EDIT: Depending on the age of the tires, you can probably recoup most of what you paid.

It's gonna rub.....unless you do some heavy fender modification.

The good news is that when you asked if they will fit.....you'll be able to bolt them to the car....

dam i didnt think they would be so bad... its a pain trying to sell tires... i wish i had a ps to see how these wheel/tire combos would look on the car, if it looked relaly nice it might be worth the trouble, i mean im losing money probabaly on the tires anyways so might as well spend that money the modifications no?

You have 2 issues, oversized diameter tires and an aggressive wheel fitment. You are going to have to do fender mods regardless of tire size (unless you stretch a really narrow tire like a 215) to run those wheel specs. It's up to you whether you want to use those tires or not, it can be done. Even if you went with a proper 245/35 or 255/35 tire, you will still need the fender mods so you might as well just get it taken care of.

well i posted them on ebay, and another forum for sale...

we shall see how it goes, if they sell, fine... if not then ill try to buy wheels and see what i can do with them.... maybe its worth it, how much is all this modification stuff gonna run me? I think i was quoted either 13 or 30$ to roll each fender. i dont know how much anything else costs... im trying to find some used rota DPT's for 4-500.. still in the process, i have a potential person but the rotas are 18x9.5... i guess rota didnt make 18x9 in a few yr, thats what i was initally getting from the guy i bought the tires from.. shitty luck for me. if they dont sell ill try to just tough it out until the wheels come through
