Will It Fit Thread
Will 17x9 et30 245/40 or 235/40 fit?
Hey team, just looking for some help. I've searched for the specific offset but nothing conclusive. I have Stance coilovers going to lower about 2-2.5 inches on this setup 17x9 et30 245/40 or 235/40. I currently have no fender modification, will I rub or can I plug and play?
Thanks,
Thanks,

I don't see that size listed on the TireRack page. But at 245/35/18, the measured rim width is 8.5".

Given that you want to fit a narrower tire on a wider wheel, I'll say it's going to be stretched.

@archwisp They are actually 5P's listed HERE as J8635621 mentioned. Looks like there might be a slight stretch, but it's also rated for 8-9.5" rims.
Seeing they are somewhat in the middle of the tolerable rage, will they be safe just for daily street use and occasional spirited driving?

They are probably safe to run but if you're buying new tires, I would try to match them up.

So while getting the new wheels installed I discovered that I had a broken rear spring, so I had to do a bunch of suspension work. Ended up installing a set of Koni's with racing beat springs. so here are some pics of the final setup. With no rubbing on any corner and no fender roll. handles really well, I would say an overall bump in handling of around 20% to 30%, and the ride is still very tolerable, just a little bit stiffer than stock.
255/40/R18 tires, TSW 18x8.5 ET45, this for all 4 corners, non staggered

This. See my pictures a few pages back, I have 245/40/18's on 9.5" rims. Definitely a mild stretch. 255's don't have any visible stretch though; they look pretty much square with a 9.5" rim.

I am running 255 40 r18s on 8.5" wheels and a +45 ofset and that is pretty much the limit without fender roll or lots of camber . I have less than 1 finger width of clearance in the back. And even less in the front with the wheels turned.
sorry, I am new to the wheel specs and understanding the best possible option. What would be a ideal specs fro a wheel? I don't mind if its aggressive. I am going more for show with the wheels just for now and I just wanted to know if either set would even fit with a slight roll of the fenders>....

Hi guys!
F/R: 18x9 +20
Tires on those rims would be:
Dunno... Stretch the 225/45 ? Or 235? What will do better?
I have an option for forged Rays Work Evo4 18x9 +20. Will it fit stock 2004 Japan market SP 4AT?
Should I have to roll fenders (looks like so...) or do something even more serious?
How it will affect handling? Generally a bad idea? That bad?)))

I am looking at buying the TE37SL for my RX8 R3 from Nengun.
Here are what they have in stock:
RAYS - TE37SL - Nengun Performance
Can anyone recommend me a decent 18" wheel and tyre combo?
Car is street driven and occasionally tracked. I'm not after hellaflush but drivability and decent looks.
My car is lowered 20mm on H & R Springs.
Thanks
