Will it fit?

18x8.75 +33 offset with 255/40r18?

Eibach springs are the only suspension upgrade. stock brakes.

thoughts?

And if I go for the 18x9.5 Face 3 +22, what tire size would you recommend?

245/40 probably. Could pull off wider if you put your mind to it.

I'm looking to buy a set of wheels (19x9.5 +22)
lowered on shiitty tanabe springs, 1.4" (for now)
Would 245/35 or 245/40 work here? I've read around and I'm pretty sure they will fit, I know this is similar to what matrx8 just asked but I just wanted to be sure!

245/35 and it's gonna rub because you have shitty springs plus it'll need some fender work probably

Also same setup with Tien S-tech lowering springs, will it fit and any rubbing? I have access to a fender roller and someone that has done it many times.
I don't suggest 255/35 as that could have issues due to height. Do the s-techs and 265/30 IMO

Perhaps. Depends on a few things. Probably fine but crazier things have happened

No, element wheels or CarID, that was just a quick google search.

Hi everyone. Gonna be honest here. Too bored to read through 415 pages so I'm just gonna ask my question here.

I got a set of 09 GT 18 inch rims and looking for tires. Now I know that 255/40 will fit. But I'm also planning on adding some spacers to make them sit flush with the fenders.

Will it rub? Or do I even need spacers coz the 255s make the tire wider (so they'll sit flush)?

For a second I thought you were being lazy and exaggerating, but holy crap there are actually four hundred and fifteen pages as of this post. Wow.

Didn't get a reply on my last one, so let's make it a little more realistic.

18x9 +36 all around WedsSport SA-55m

265/35 r18 Bridgestone RE-11'S

On Bilstein PSS9 coilovers lowered all the way (guessing 1" drop), but willing to raise it up or roll my fender.

Thanks!

so I've already got my wheels on and fitted and everything, rolled my fenders and clipped my rear bumper tabs. I was just wondering how flat i should of rolled my quarters. I rolled them up to the point where they pinched the fabric wheel liner in between the lip and the quarter and i had to repaint the rockers and lip so i seam sealed in there to keep debris and salt out. anyhow even tho a little off topic I can fit my pointer finger in between the tire and the panel and was wondering if i should roll it more in order to go lower. I heard a popping whenever I got that far and i didn't want to pop any of the spot welds apart so i stopped there. thanks a lot!

ps. I am running 18x 9.5 +20

looking for light rim/tire combo with cheap replaceable tires(in case you were wondering about the 17" choice)
stock ride height
so:
Enkei RPF1's in:
17X 8.5 +40 or
17X 9 +45

either rim will be ran with 245/45R17's

Now I've researched for hours and done tons of search's, but haven't seen anyone with them, not sure if that's largely because few people use 17's or if its my fitment fear. nobody seems to use 18X8.5 so I'm curious if there is a reason to this or not.
I've tried some g35 17's I have and they clear the front brake rotor diameter wise so the enkei's should to in my brain but how about the spokes clearing the brakes?
Thanks guys
