Have the guard really pumped and rolled.

8 to 8.5 is alright in the rear but on the front they almost sit outside the guard.

Id be guessing 10" wide is gonna take alot of guard work to fit them in.

Even better is 7.5" wide rims, more room for evem more slammage :D

Surely they come in a narrower width then 10"

Dont get your hopes up I don't think they'll fit, pretty sure jason and dee have tried already.

Well I remember a thread by dee about 255s not fitting, and i havent heard of a person with 9"s on yet, sports has 8.5", i think that's the max. 245s are commonish.

I've got 18" rims that are 8.5" wide with 235 wide tyres on and the fit nicely inside the guards.

your rears should be fine no need to roll guards but you might have to trim your flares a bit depanding on how low your cars is atm and how low it gets when you have ppl at the back.

your fronts will have to be trimmed for sure and you wont be able to lower it much.

to be honest even 9.5" is to wide but looks mean as but in order to fit them you will need to trim flares and not lower it much

if you want the wide look just get 8.5" but with 245 rubber and they will look wide enough.

dont know if this will help or not but heres a shot of my rear a lil bit to the passanger side but you can see how wide 235's on 8.5" rim looks. 245's will lool a lil bit wider

sigh... i hate those tips :(

but that was with 20's and their cars were alread slammed to the ground so clearance was an issue

Try before you buy would be my best advice.

Ashneel

dude no harm in trying them on. just put them on and go for a drive if they scrub and remove them if they dont then keep em but i must say if you do get pulled over and cops have a look at your placard they wil for sure know you have gone more the one inch wide coz of the 255 wide tyres

Fritz

Any chance you know some one with 10" wides? Any mates with a masserati should have a set...

Can't hurt to go see the local rim place and say your interested but you want to make sure they fit before you buy them....

What offset are the rims?

I have these on my Ralliart currently:

19x8.5 with 235s - FRONT
19x9.5 with 265s - REAR

I need stiffer springs to stop the occasional rubbing but otherwise there fine.

They fit, but legality and insurance may be a different story however.

either those wheels are not 10" wide, or those are not 255 tyres!!! 255's would be stretched HUGELY on a 10" rim!!

I run a 255 on my 9" front rim, and a 285 on my 10" rear rim, and there is room for a 295 or a 305 still!!!

I find it unlikely a 10" rim will fit under the gaurd of a magna ... though, if you want to tee up with some one in perth, i can try one of my rim's on their magna and let you know ... but thats up to you.

Nah decided against them now, prob gonna go the twin exhaust and molded rear bar, add a nice tune to my car.

Mine are 8" wide and they stick out a couple of mm in the front.. 10" would look aweful unless you got the gaurds mega flared and maybe shave a bit off the inside of the rim so they sit further in.

It all depends on the offset. I have 9.5" wide on the rear and they sit perfectly inside/inline with the guards and I didn't have to roll or flare the guards on my Ralliart.
