245/40

 

Hey team, just looking for some help. I've searched for the specific offset but nothing conclusive. I have Stance coilovers going to lower about 2-2.5 inches on this setup 17x9 et30 245/40 or 235/40. I currently have no fender modification, will I rub or can I plug and play?
Thanks,

 

Will 235/35 19 ContiSportContact 5's fit on 19x9 rims without stretch?

 

Stretch is apparently a relative term. I say it will be stretched. Some people will claim that a 205 on a 9" isn't stretched.

 

I don't see that size listed on the TireRack page. But at 245/35/18, the measured rim width is 8.5".

Given that you want to fit a narrower tire on a wider wheel, I'll say it's going to be stretched.

 

Contisportcontact 5p has it. I did the same thing as you.

 

Currently running: 18x9.5+15 all around wrapped in 225/40/18

Looking for a "meatier" fitment. Any inputs welcomed.

 

245/40

 

@archwisp They are actually 5P's listed HERE as J8635621 mentioned. Looks like there might be a slight stretch, but it's also rated for 8-9.5" rims.

Seeing they are somewhat in the middle of the tolerable rage, will they be safe just for daily street use and occasional spirited driving?

 

I ran 245/40s on my 9.5s for a while. They were definitely stretched. I had grip problems but it was probably mostly attributable to a bent toe control arm.

They are probably safe to run but if you're buying new tires, I would try to match them up.

 

So while getting the new wheels installed I discovered that I had a broken rear spring, so I had to do a bunch of suspension work. Ended up installing a set of Koni's with racing beat springs. so here are some pics of the final setup. With no rubbing on any corner and no fender roll. handles really well, I would say an overall bump in handling of around 20% to 30%, and the ride is still very tolerable, just a little bit stiffer than stock.

255/40/R18 tires, TSW 18x8.5 ET45, this for all 4 corners, non staggered

 

This. See my pictures a few pages back, I have 245/40/18's on 9.5" rims. Definitely a mild stretch. 255's don't have any visible stretch though; they look pretty much square with a 9.5" rim.

 

Stretch depends on more factors than just the stated size. The 235 or 245 is more of a guideline than an actual measurement.

 

Will 18x9+35 fit with 255/40/18?

 

I am running 255 40 r18s on 8.5" wheels and a +45 ofset and that is pretty much the limit without fender roll or lots of camber . I have less than 1 finger width of clearance in the back. And even less in the front with the wheels turned.

 

The fronts are 8.5" and the rears are 10", Offset is 35. size 20

tire recommendations? Also running stock brakes and stock suspension

 

don't do it

 

Rears won't work right?
What About..
.Front: 18x9.5 +12

Rear: 18x10.5 +15

TE37 Reps

 

I say not to do something then you ask about something even more aggressive.........

 

sorry, I am new to the wheel specs and understanding the best possible option. What would be a ideal specs fro a wheel? I don't mind if its aggressive. I am going more for show with the wheels just for now and I just wanted to know if either set would even fit with a slight roll of the fenders>....

 

Rota P45R 18×9.5 +30

will it work? what tire size you guys think will give me the oem tire wall thickness? i dont want to wide im thinking a 235-245 should flush the tire to the rim??

 

Look at the thread in my signature

 

eh.

 

Hi guys!

F/R: 18x9 +20


Tires on those rims would be:
Dunno... Stretch the 225/45 ? Or 235? What will do better?

I have an option for forged Rays Work Evo4 18x9 +20. Will it fit stock 2004 Japan market SP 4AT?

Should I have to roll fenders (looks like so...) or do something even more serious?

How it will affect handling? Generally a bad idea? That bad?)))

 

I am looking at buying the TE37SL for my RX8 R3 from Nengun.
Here are what they have in stock:
RAYS - TE37SL - Nengun Performance

Can anyone recommend me a decent 18" wheel and tyre combo?
Car is street driven and occasionally tracked. I'm not after hellaflush but drivability and decent looks.

My car is lowered 20mm on H & R Springs.

Thanks
