Atilla and brilliantblackrx8 thanks for the info, Danmn858 not sure if your asking me that question.
Im on coilovers and the guards sit just above the tire and run about -1.5 camber all round. The reason for the different size tires is that when I got my rims I had 4 brand new tires on the stock rims and thought i would just use them, since then I replaces the rears with the toyo R1R 255's for traction reasons, they have helped a bit but an oportunity to get 2 toyo R888 in 285 has come up at a really good price and thought it would be good if they fit.

Nope, it was directed at brilliantblackrx8, sorry for the confusion.

Found some brand new work rims on kijiji for 1.3k, hoping to pic these up asap if they will fit. The specs are,

18x9.5 front and rear
+20 offset for fronts and rears

I haven't decided on tires yet, and I'm running stock suspension and will probably drop the car on lowest springs I can find.

Phyrx

19x8.5 +30 - 235/35/19
19x9.5 +25 - 265/30/19

Powertrix coils - wanting to go as low as possible with minimal rub. (as soon as they come in)

Looking for a nice stance.

What will I need to make it work? The rears look like they might be fine with some camber but my fronts look a little sunk currently (on mazdaspeed springs right now).

I posted a picture of the car on page 345 but never got a reply. Just looking for some input, thanks!

And with 265s you will defintely need to roll your rear fenders flat and cut some tabs.
I say pick up a set of 15mm spacers for the front. Thats not an aggressive setup at all in front.

should look good on 19's though!
Make sure to get a good alignment!

yes.

Dude I bet, meaty as hell!

First post here, but I've been rummaging through hundreds of pages in this thread as well as the aggressive wheel figment thread over the past week or so as a lurker. I'm looking to see which fitment will work best for my future setup. 19x9.5 +12 all around? Or would +22 be better? How about a 19x10.5 with the same offset options? I plan on running Stance GR+ coilovers and don't have an issue doing fender work, and am fine with spacers to a degree. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Fister_Roboto

BTW- Those offsets are the only ones available for the wheels in question, so getting a more ideal offset will not be possible unfortunately.

Tires tires tires

Fister_Roboto

Ah yes, I knew I was forgetting something! I'd like to do 275/30 all around if I go with the 10.5s, 255/35 would be fine with the 9.5s. Of course, if you have a better suggestion, I'm all ears.

Fister_Roboto

I guess I should add that I'm going for a pretty aggressive setup, so a little tire stretching isn't out of the question, as long as it isn't something stupid like a 235 on a 10.5" wide wheel lol.

hey.

Fister_Roboto

Eheheh, well umm... : I just don't care for skinny tires mate. Don't hate me?

ETA: Just saw Tilt's post on page 278 (iirc) where he ran a set of Varrstoen's in 19x10.5 +12 and they look killer! So I know they'll fit, but as far as tires are concerned, I could probably get away with 265/35's I'd imagine, yeah?

Danmn858

and 265's, no. Tilt ran 255's on his varrstoens and had issues. He has told me that a 245 would have been much more manageable.
I would say go with the +22 offset on the 10.5's. Thats almost a perfect size/offset combo for our 8's. After that is just about tire size and camber.
If you're running 10.5's, I would say got with 245/35/19.

I just picked up 4 work emoition cr kai's, the fronts are 18x8.5 + 25 offset and the rears are 18x9.5 +20 offset. I am rolling my fenders and getting my camber set but the shop doesn't know what tires I should go with or what to set the camber to. Does anybody know what tires/camber I should be running? I'm going to be tracking the car.

RobGripper

My phone doesn't let me edit so this belongs in my above post:

I am going to be dropping the car on swift springs but not before I get my rims on.

Correction, my fronts are +20 and rears are +25

doesn't matter, neither belong on a track car.

RobGripper

Its not a track car, its for fun lapping.

fuztupnz

iTrader: (4)

ok, neither are good because they don't belong on a car that is doing fun lapping.

RobGripper

How do you figure? I could run steelies with 205's and do fun lapping. My question was what tires to run on them for fvck sake not to get flamed.

well then read through this thread for **** sake. It's been answered tons of times.

At that offset you're going to poke at stock height. You'll probably still poke at whatever height the springs put you at. You will rub in a lot of places at any height because of the offset while you're at the track because of suspension compression and body roll. A square setup is better for the track vs. staggered. run 245/40/18 all the way around on 8.5 or 9 in wide wheels for the best size for the track.

The car will look dumb with your already paid for wheels unless you do some rolling and shaving in the fenders, lower it with coil overs and run more negative camber than what's avaliable stock or with lowering springs.
