Thanks! Stock suspension/height. The only height difference that would be incurred would be from the overall diameter of the new wheel/tires.
What kind of clearances would I be looking at (subjective measurements are fine =P)

Greets,
(I only made it to page 82 before my eyes started to blur. Apologies if this was answered in the last third of the thread)
18 x 9.5 +38 all corners: consensus seems to be that up to 265/35 will fit fine without rolling. How about a 255/40 tire? Overall diameter is much closer to stock (differences in tire make/brand aside), but will it be stretched much?
I'm dropped on MS springs.

Just wanted to double check the math, I got slightly different numbers.
For Opt 1:
Sidewall height = (245 * 0.45)/25.4 = 4.34 inches
Wheel diameter = 17 inches
Total Diameter = (sidewall height * 2) + wheel diameter = (4.34*2) + 17 = 25.68 inches
Stock Setup:
Sidewall height = (225 * 0.45)/25.4 = 3.99 Inches
Wheel Diameter = 18 inches
Total Diameter = (sidewall height * 2) + wheel diameter = (3.99*2) + 18 = 25.97
So wouldn't using the Option 1 decrease the ride height by ~0.3 inches due to Option 1 Total Diameter < Stock Total Diameter?
I just want to clarify because whether or not the ride height is increased or decreased will influence my decision of what tires to get.

So I m pretty sure I m gonna get 5zigen 17x10 +45 wheels. Will it fit the 275/45 Nitto NT01 or falken RT-615 tires? I currently have mazdaspeed shocks and springs so I m lowered 0.8 front are rear. At least I m pretty sure thats the number. lol. They are not adjustable. I m planning on buying megan coilovers over the summer.
EDIT:
also will those tires even work in wet conditions? I plan on using them on teh road.

^If you got the 18x9.5 +45, then you would get a 275/35 instead of 273/45.
Don't get the Azenis. They are fine on the street and fine in the rain. But they are priced too high now. You can get a set of NT05's for around $750 shipped. And the Azenis usually run about 200+ a tire.

Yep, 265/35ZR-18 Hankook Ventus R-S2 XL is what the description was. For some reason they were $99 when I ordered, now it says $109. My total was $460 with shipping, I jumped on it and then realized I better order some rims that fit, lol.
