That's how you tuck a wide tire! Not the 80's stink bug stance with the tires hanging 2 inches outside the fender lip. I did that with my car in high school (1985)! Haha

ps. It tucks a 295/40/18 on an 18x10 now fwiw.

That's my current setup, 18x10 6" backspacing, 295/40/18. It will fit a 305 but I couldn't find a matching front tire for it. If I could have gotten an 18x11 with 7 - 7.5" backspacing I could have went with a 325.

This is with no weight in the car, it was gutted, but gives you an idea.

I did roll the lips, and have a 265/40/18 on the front with a 18x9 with 5" backspacing, and could have gotten a 275 up there, but couldn't get one in the series that I wanted.

The tires are from like 2002, so I will be shopping once I get it back from paint jail. Should be in a few weeks.
