Will this fit? (width, offset and tire size Qs)

[Shiro86]

I know that the search function exists so please just tell me the answer if you know it. It takes the same amount of effort as telling me to use the search function. Thank you.

What tires will fit with no rubbing on Enkei NT03s, +40, on a car dropped on Tein S-Tech springs?

Gracias.

What size wheels? What offset?
Are you already dropped on those springs? Camber settings?

But I will still tell you to use the search, best way is to look below at the wheel directory and your particular wheel to see what others are using.

I have a feeling it won't but I really want to run staggered
18x8.75 +33 in front
And
18x9.75 +20 in rear

I'm about to buy in a few days, but if it'll rub. And cause issues I guess I'll get 8.75 +33 all around

Lowered on sportlines about 1.5 inches


Edit:

225/40/18 front
245/40/18 rear
I think

Will poke quite a bit without extra camber. I'd stick to the square setup as it will also be easier to rotate and maximize the life of your tires.

Go with a 245/35R18 series, not 40-series as it is too tall.

1. Do you guys think 235/40/18 tire would be okay or should i do a 245/40?
2. Would i have to run an excessive negative camber to have a flush appearance?

Thanks

Good wheel setup.
I'd recommend front camber bolts to gain a bit of extra camber up front. You will probably be okay in the rear though without LCAs as you will gain the camber you need just from your drop. 1-1.5" drop in the rear will bring you to around -2 camber or a tad more.

As per above post, run a 245/35R18, not a 40. You could even fit a 255/35R18 in there since you will have extra clearance inside with the coilovers. (I'd start with 245/35 first and see)

Questions:

Will I need spacers and/or camber bolts? I've read about 1.325 million posts regarding similar situations, but haven't found an answer.

What tire size would you guys recommend? Tire Rack recommends 245/40, but I'd rather hear from people who drive these cars.

Thanks in advance!

With this setup, you will be very close to or touching the spring perch with the tire.
This wheel size/offset works on stock suspension, but as you lower, your inside clearance shrinks.

Camber bolts will make it worse (closer to the perch).

I would recommend 5mm spacers to start, which should give you enough clearance and will still work with stock studs (enough wheel stud engagement).

Or, if you didn't get the wheels yet, go for something closer to a +35 to +38 offset.

Can I use 225/40/18? For a kind of stretch look

225/40R18 is a good OEM diameter.

Thanks Slick, I went ahead and ordered 5mm spacers for the front, and 12mm spacers for the back. Won't be perfectly even, but close. Will effectively change the offset to +37 in front and +30 in the rear. Perfect would be +48 and +38 according to the "flush" chart, but I don't mind a bit of poke.

Stock suspension I'm going to be buying 17'' x 7.5'' et35 with a 225/45/17 tire.

According to will they fit I should be poking 19 mm/.75 in more than stock. No plans to lower the car, but I'd like to get the fitment more flush. I think I'd be more or less there with this set-up. Agree/disagree?

Another question for the experts here - will I have issues with a wider tire like a 235 and would that be a poor choice for a 7.5'' wheel? I do autox some but no track and no plans for FI or a tremendous power upgrade other than maybe an OFT.

Thanks in advance

255/35/18 w/18x9.5 +45 on stock suspension.. most likely doing 10mm spacers; just checking in to see if they'd rub or not.

Will 255/40/18 on 18/8.5 motegi m116 +35 fit without rubbing on stock height. If not what would be the widest? would I need to drop down to a shorter wall height?

[SilverBullet86Z]

Hey guys, I'm looking to get Rays 57DR wheels 17x9.0 with 235/40/17 tires, my car is lowered on eibach pro kit. Will I need to get camber bolts or it would fit just fine with enough clearance?

Thanks!!

Would a staggered setup of Enkei Raijin's (18x8.5 front, 18x9.5 rear with 235/45 in front and 265/35 in the rear) work on stock suspension or with just lowering springs? Both have a +45 offset I think.
