I have 18x8 +35 & 18x9 +37 with 225/40 & 245/35. My camber is -1.5 f & -2.0 rear. My tire wear is even. Some camber is good; but you'll want your toe to close to zero.


The wheel directory has most Forum Members wheels specs. It is a great resource. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7535


Also, the Meaty tire thread is great!

Thank you for your time and info! A sales rep had told me recently to go 18x10 in the rear because i want lip. Even though he had said that I was still hesitant on it cause that’s such a wide tire. I thought I’d ask here to get a second opinion.

I'm interested in a set of SSR wheels. They are 16X7.5" with +48 offset. I'm wanting to use a 205/55R16 tire or something similar. Would this look strange on an otherwise stock 86?

Here are 16x7.5 ssr wheels with that size tire. +48 offset will make them look similar to the stock wheels. They will look sunk in a little compared to the +35 in the link.

SSR wheels will look good.

16X7.5" with +48 offset will be 1/4" closer to fender than stock, and 1/4" further inboard. Similar in appearance to 16x7" +42 from the outside. 225/50 would be a perfect tire for that rim width; IMO a 205/55 would look skinny.

This was taken from the OP from the Wheel Directory






In my case, I have decided on 17x9 +42 wheels square.


I will be lowered about 1" on coilovers, so no concern of rubbing spring perch, but I'm looking at "perfect flush" measurements of +48 for the front and +38 for the rear


Am I to understand that I will poke 6mm in the front, and sunk in 4mm in the rear? Are those numbers based on 0 camber/factory camber?


If I run 17x9 +42 on all corners with a moderate "hard-cornering" alignment ( ~1.5 front // ~1.0 rear).. will the front really poke? My initial impression was that +42 is a pretty non-aggressive setup. I'd prefer to be slightly sunken in than poking out

You'll be just fine! -1.5 front camber will tuck the top of the tire/wheel and will look great.


I added a 5mm spacer to my rear 9" +42 wheel to make it flush. I'm at -2 rear.

I had the same plan for the rear spacer.. good to know you've done the same and like it. I just wasn't sure about the front, +48 seems like a high offset for it to sit flush. Just checking! thanks for the input

+48 is accurate, but with your +42 wheels, coilovers, and some camber, everything will fit/look great!

What would be the best size tire for a wheel 18x9.5 +39 with coilovers and LCR?


Can't really wrap my head around how it works.

Hello!


Use this link. Type in the stock tire size in "size 1" (215/45/17)


Now type in the size tire you are thinking about in "size2" - Let's say 255/35/18. It will tell you that the diameter is only slightly (1.6%) larger diameter, but has a much wider contact patch.




I would suggest one of these sizes. 245/35/18, 255/35/18






I would also suggest reading the Meaty tire threads first page.

Damn there is so much to look up and check.
Im still very green on learning all these clearances and fitments.

Can anyone double check me for flushness within a close reasonable amount and a good fitment overall please?

I have:
Tein lowering springs down 1.5-ish?

Getting:
Wheels = MOTEGI RACING MR116 18X8 (45mm offset for all four)
Tires = FIRESTONE FIREHAWK INDY 500
Front: 225/40R18
Rear: 255/35R18

Or get same size that will be large enough to still fit the front and space out the rear so I can do standard tire rotations.... what size spacer for say the 255s all around?


From what I've found I should sit pretty good unless im misreading. Let me know thanks. Much appreciated.

[671mike]

quick question will a 18x8.5 35 and a 18x9.5 35 fit with a front 245 rear 265 with tein s tech 1 inch drop coils

Welcome to the Forum!

18x8 +45 MOTEGI RACING MR116 will work for your front. I have the same exact size wheels for my front with the same offset, though now I have added a 10mm spacer making them +35. I am using a 225/40/18 MPSS front tire.

If you want a wider tire for the rear, I would suggest getting a wider wheel. Like in the link below. I ran a 245/35/18 on an 18x8 and it was too wide. The 255/35 is not going to be a good fit.

I have 18x9 +37 rear wheels with a 245/35/18 MPSS tire. Since my set up is close to a 18x9 +35, (like in the link) I can tell you that it will fit a 245/35/18 tire lowered on tein springs. But a 255/35 is going to be close and may rub.

Or get the 18x8 +45 all around with a 225/40 and call it a day. You can rotate the tires that way. Adding a 10mm front and a 15mm rear will make the wheels flush. (Or 15mm front and 20mm rear for a more aggressive look)

It really is about what you want out of the wheels and tires.

Happy to help.

Thank you for your knowledge. Very helpful. So I'm thinking I'll do the 225s with spacers. Seems pretty logical for rotations.
