The 255/35/18's on my car were Nexen N3000, highly recommended as a budget street performance tire. I think the last four sets of tires I put on the car were progressively larger. Until the last set, I would have said (and probably did) that fattest possilbe street tire for a 2g was 245. Instinct told me 255's would not fit, math told me they would. Math won. With about 1.5° negative camber, the rear wheels tuck with about 2mm to spare. Fender flange only is rolled; no agressive rolling of the fender lip. There is also about 2mm clearance between the tire and the knuckle. Actually, this was a great excersize to prove that a +40mm offset wheel is the perfect center of the wheel well for a 2g.
