Mr_Pieper 11-15-2013 09:08 AM

Why wouldn't you use the same size tires all around?

J8635621 11-15-2013 09:12 AM

Probably the same reason he wouldn't look back 5 posts for an answer.......poor education system

Mr_Pieper 11-15-2013 10:24 AM

So if I use 245/40/18 all around it wouldn't be robbing ryt?

alterg7 11-15-2013 04:29 PM

is 18x9.5 +38 with 265/35 all the way around a good choice in size and im lowered on tein flex coilovers

Good for what? You guys need to learn how to ask questions to get the answer you are looking for.

its my daily driver so i want to up grade from stock rims and tires, would this be a good choice for all around performance and like i said ill have tein coilovers so itll be lowered atleast 2 inchs, or is their maybe a better choice. thanks

alterg7 11-15-2013 05:47 PM

will i have to roll the fenders ?

J8635621 11-15-2013 06:00 PM

It was just a few posts back where I posted a link to a thread with the answer. No need for 265s on an 8 for daily driving. 245s are as wide as you need.

is their a disadvantage from using a 265 tire ? so you think 245/35 would be best for 18x9.5 rim
and i read that link it did say 245s are best but if you are lowered a bit 265/35 are good too

J8635621 11-16-2013 11:46 AM

245/40! 40 not 35. 265 can look good when lowered a lot. It's not necessary unless you have boost or drive in small tight courses like autox.

With a 9.5 the 245 is a bit stretched IMO. I'd do 9"

The other 50mm of tire wouldn't be a big deal :suspect: Not to mention that picture shows fitment is absolute shit. Great job


That was before I got my coil overs. It's Much better now :)

Philip.rx_8 11-17-2013 01:37 PM

Any body running a 18x9+30 here?

N0P1st0ns 11-18-2013 01:40 PM

Will 225/40/18 fit on 18x9.5 +45? will they be boxy or square looking?

200.mph 11-18-2013 01:53 PM

225 is the stock 18x8 tire and they are stretched there. I now have 235 on the stock wheels and they are square, I wish I had 245s but the 235s were significantly cheaper. That should give you a reference point.

how stretched? like crazy hellaflush stretched? or just a little. I'm not going for that look, but i don't necessarily want boxy looking ones either. i think this looks good

Like this guy is stupid stretched lol. If you want a little stretch, try 245 or 255. My next wheel setup will be 18x9.5 or or 17x10 Enkei RPF1s depending on what I can fit, probably with 285s. Look up a fitment guide on the internet to see what will fit best.

Mr_Pieper 11-18-2013 03:12 PM

You would need to be at more of a +15 rather than a +45 to have the wheel out there. Just get a bigger tire size and stop being cheap.(This goes for everyone with a question.)

N0P1st0ns 11-18-2013 03:34 PM

im not being cheap.. i dont want them super wide buddy. getting +15 will make them stick out like 2 inches and thats way to much. i have 25mm spacers on my stocks and its perfectly flush. i want flushness with a little stretch. i plan on getting RPF1's 18x9.5 +45 thats already set. now im just figuring out my tires. The +45 will have me sticking out just a tad. and with some stretch it will be perfect when i decide to lower it. so you recommend 245/40/18?

curly_drift08 11-18-2013 03:35 PM

What would be the best tire size for a 18x9 +30 offset, lowered on Tein basis? I thinking about 235/40 R18 should be alright but I would rather ask here before I make any purchases.

That should be alright. Minimal stretch. Will look nice. You could even go to a 245/40 if you want.

The pic you gave is something like a +15 with a 235. A good size with the +45 would be more like 255/40. I know someone with RPF1s in that sizing and it works well. You will be a few mm in from where the spaced stock wheel was but with more tire.
