I'm I just got a set of rims...18x8 and 18x9 BBS RCJ's (forged). They came with 235/40 in the front and 265/35/18 in the rears. i put them on to see how much I'd have to roll the fender in the rear, and it REALLY doesn't fit at all. Any little bump and it rubs in the rear. Should I: sell the 265's and get 245/35's or roll the fenders, then when the tires wear out, get 245's or 255's in the back?

The rears are very tall, that's why I was thinking of getting the 245/35's back there. What do you guys recommend?

BTW, the tires that came with the rims are Bridestone So2 Pole Positions with 95% tread, so if anyone wants to purchase the 265/35's...give me an e-mail.

We would need to know what make, model and year car it is for. Feel free to email me or call direct at 800-428-8355-364. With the car info we can give you a recommended size tire for front and rear. Thank you Jim
