Hi guys doing some research on wheels and was just wondering if 18 inch by 9.5 inch wide rims with a offset of 45 if I will have any issues of rubbing at all, looking at 255/35 tyre, also is that a lot of stretch or would be fine. Also have coilovers.

Depends how low you go. I think I'm dropped around 1.5" in front and only rub the fender liners as full lock right or left. Rear you got plenty of room. Tires don't look stretched Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1430084645.215904.jpg

I thought 255/265 tires would cause rubbing issues without spacers.

why are you running so much rear camber?

also if anyone is interested, my cusco LCA is for sale. went with something that makes my life aligning a bit easier.

350$ takes them. thanks!

Hi guys,
I have a Release series 1.0 FRS that comes with TRD springs. (1 inch lower)
I ordered Work VS-XX 18x9.5 +39 offset wheels, and i am thinking to wrap them with 255/35/18 all around. Oh 3mm spacers for the front. I really like the ride quality of 40 profile, so also considering 255/40/18.
Will i run into any issues?

What was wrong with the Cusco ones?

adjusting them took forever because i'm not adding more camber, i'm actually taking it away.

the cusco's are great for those who need more camber. i needed less at the height i was at, the adjusting was getting annoying.

Will wheels that are 18x8.5 + 42 offset fit with 235/40/18 with no fitment issues on stock suspension?

I've asked this almost everywhere and no response, so this might help. Hopefully.

Thanks.

Tires are a bit bigger in diameter by like 2cm if that's what you are after. It will work fine, but 235/35/18 would be a closer to stock size.

Finally, an answer! Thanks. I am looking to be flush with the car (without using any spacers) which is why I was going to go with 235/40.

So, basically, that would work right?
