gentlemen,

Will a 18x9.5 +35 work F/R with 245/40? any suggestions on tires here? possible 1 inch drop in the future

should I go down to 18x8.5?

thank you

stick with 18x9.5 +35

go with the 245/40

you can go wider if you'd like. If you're gonna drop 1" you'll still be fine.

thanks Atilla....do you think a Koni/S-Tech combo would be pushing it or am I looking at a roll here?

you'll be fine.

If you'd like to up the size in tires tho, i would suggest it as it's a standard precaution.

That's so damn stupid. I wish I could understand this

That would be the same stretch as on my wheels. I'm assuming he's going to be slammed on such an aggressive setup and coilovers. I mean... he could go wider tires but it will require A LOT of work and extra camber.
EDIT: *especially being on 19's also*

Yea exactly

If people didn't want to have to deal with stretch they wouldn't do such aggressive offsets.

My faith in the human race is nonexistent. I assume nothing and expect everything

Ok well i found out i cant do 18x9.5 so ill go 18x8.5 +35 offset 245/40....i know it will fit but my concern is rubbing on stock suspension since I do autox about 7-8 times a year, if anyone has some first hand experience with this please let me know.
thank you

That will fit fine

^+1

no rubbing any where.

Fantastic....i appreciate the help

Will these fit, and what size tires please.... + (I have Mazdaspeed springs installed)

Size
18x8"

Bolt Pattern
5X114.3mm

Offset
35 mm

Hub Bore Size:
73.1 mm

Well since i asked the same question except with a wider rim ill go ahead and say that yes it will fit.....OEM tires 225/45/18 but 245/40/18 seem to be the best match for 18x8 and wont throw off ur speedo

JCrane, if it helps, I understand exactly what you are saying. All defined within the word "subjective"

J just also likes poking and prodding people when he sees a reaction.

aw man, I missed it.

looking at 18x10 +49, will they fit on all 4. I assume i may need to roll the fenders which i am ok with. will probably be looking to run a 275/35/18

Sure

yup

OK, fairly close to VooDoo22 specs 18x10 +43. I know it'll fit, my question more so is, without coilovers, will I have any rubbing issues? I'm lowered on Megan Racing springs w/stock shocks now. Coilovers are in my budget, but a friend of mine is selling these wheels pretty cheap now...

i have 18x10 +28 with lowering springs not coilovers. I rub but only on dramatic suspension travels.

Chris I don't think you drive very hard if that's the case. Just saiyan. Also no tires are mentioned.

on oem 225's but will change out to something larger.

Oem bilsteins with sprint springs. ~2inch drop.

My research shows 18x9+35 is what a few people are running to get a huge tire to fit at oem height with very slight if at all fender mods.

what about at a 2inch drop with sprints?


If i wont rub with 225's, how wide of a tire can i fit before it rubs all over the place?
