Looking for some help with tires eventually for new rims. I got in on the ALT MEKAs group buy a while back for my speed6. So when I'm ready for new tires will 225/45/18 fit on the 18x7.5 42mm ok without having to roll the fenders?

you need to roll because of the offset. ive got ALT rims and im running a 215 tire and it didnt clear without the roll.

if you wanna run a 225 on a 18" wheel, you are gonna be a +48 offset or higher. im running 225/40's on 18x7.5" wheels with a +48 offset. didnt have to roll, but i barely clear.

Thanks for the suggestions. Do you generally have to roll all the fenders or only the rear ones?
