Title: Will 285/30 x 18 Tyres fit under rolled arches ?

Hi,
Need new tyres and considering the Federal 595 RSR.

Front fitment is fine but I would appreciate some advice for the rear.

Rear alloys have an et30 offset and currently have 275/30 x 18 tyres fitted. I have had the rear arches rolled with a slight flare.
The Federals are available in 265 or 285 width and I would prefer not to go below 275 width, making the 285 the obvious choice.

What do you think, will it fit ?

Thanks
Chris

Thanks Karl,
I\'ve kept the ride height (running adjustable coil overs) a little high as the 275 tyres caught on the arch inner lip over bumps etc.
Haven\'t tried lowering the ride height yet since having the arches modified.

I\'ll drop the ride height and check for clearance.
