Will 255/35R18s fit under the fenders without rolling? (not that this is a big deal)

The wheels are BBS RC 18x8.5s, offset of +32. I plan on getting S03s, from what I've heard they're actually "wider" than "255". The suspension is H&R+Bilsteins.

Default No, the S03s won't. I personally put 255/40R17s on Piggie's SSRs (et35) using S03s and

they stuck out enough to look like crap. They were bad enough that I didn't even try to drive them. Possibly you could try the Falken GRBs as they are like 0.3" narrower. You're likely to still have problems in the front even with rolling.

Default Now when S4MadMan gets me a cool guy discount from his body shop friends and I pull

the fenders like that 1.8Steve guy, then I'm gonna get some REAL meat on the S4.

Default you can run 225 40r18 in the front and 255 35r18 in the rear no problem.

but you'll get more understeer. hehe

That's true the S03's stick out in an unsightly (to me) way though.
