You'll have issues in the front......I don't think they'll work.

I have a set of 18x10 +50 Fikses for sale (that will fit) if you're interested.

it depends on the size of the tire too, with some good fender rolling you should get it to fit it their on say a 265.

very likely to rub!

the rims goodfella has are probably the only sizes that will work.

I have 18x10.5 +43 SSR GT2s all four corners with 285/30/18s.

The rears will work with the 285/30s (possibly up to 295/30) with an agressive roll, and/or mild lowering.

The fronts will need a narrower tire (265/35 as mentioned above), or aggressive neg front camber.

I'm using Burnout replica fenders up front for the wider tires. I have the rear flares as well, but don't really need them. Currently doing the body work for the new Burnout pieces, but I'll see if I can take some pics.

Hey what is the offset of your rims? Damn that is the widest I ever saw someone put on the FD, usually Supra guys run those side.
