19x11 with 265 stretched rear..the flares sit right on the edge of oem fender..If cut fender ..there might be too much roundness.might have to use heat gun to form to body fender..not sure if that would work. ..I put a 1 inch rubber coil lift spacer in lowered spring ,the one that wraps around the spring giving good balance.. When flares are off there's a 1.5 inch gap between tire/oem fender. enough to not rub using 14mm spacers.But if go further out be on 14mm ..tire will start rubbing top of oem fender lip..18's shounld not be a problem.Be best to cut ...for my setup...like what these flares are used for in first place...the stance look. These rims fit without spacers and surpiseing do not rub.But the lip kinda sticks out being 11's...not that it looks bad...which is y I tried these and might as well push the lip out even further with spacers/ flares...I guess designed to right fitment spec. being 19x11. No front fenders yet.Not sure if need.. But yea just to match rears. I guess the 1inch Chinched classic would do the job but front rims do not go be on oem fender...unless harsh spacers in front... like 20mm's..Best to have coilovers to adjust height to work with flares ..but everyone has different setups.
