18x7.5 with 255/45R18 fitament

Post by burgandy outback »

i have some rims 18x7.5 with a 35mm offset and my buddy has tires 255/45R18 and want to know if they will fit on a stock legacy OBW rims look like this but gunmetal, I have tried calculators and serches but want to hear from others who have had these or what the max tires they have had on an OBW, thanks

255 will not fit on anything less than an 8.
But I don't think the tires will fit INSIDE the wheel well without major rubbing anyway.

Yeah 255/45 seems like it'd be REALLY tall.
