i think the transbraked C4 and methanol clevo will take the police's attention off the tires.

ps. they *just* fit too, with only a tiny bit of the sidewall hangs out

Also depends on the offset. Because the wheels/tyres are wide doesn't mean they will hang outside of the guards. :lookedat:

I have Advanti RPMs 18X8 front with 235/40/18 and 18X9 rear with 265/35/18. Tyres are NEXENs.

Here's a tyre calculator thingy to help you work out what tyre sizes on different diameter rims are legal. 5% variation is about the max you can go:
