nope, wont fit. I have 18 x 8.5, got to roll my fenders, and trim my bumpers.

18x 8.5= rolled fenders/ cutting??? isnt that the standard size for most people on this board running 18's? di you all require cutting/rolling? that just doesnt sound right to me. I thought 18x8.5 5x112 and 35mm was like an ideal size for our cars. am i wrong? thanks!

The reason I have to roll and cut, is I cut 1 coil of my springs on front.

im lowered 1.5 in on vogtland springs and was told by my buddy at americas tire co. that i can put 19x8.5 35mm all the way around no problem.... were you lowered AND cut a coil? was that the cause of rolling/cutting?

8.5's fit fine as long as the tire width is 225

you'll probably rub without modifying anything.
