all depends if you intend to go to coil overs, you'll have plenty of room then..
+35 poke out of the side of the car and are illegal here, if the +45 fits (albeit tightly) so what, they are going to touch unless the bearings flog out. For me if it fits it fits, long term I will put coilovers in. |

It looks tight to me too. I won't be getting coilovers for at least another year, so if the 245s won't fit, I will have to go with a different set of wheels.
What's weird to me is the pictures that I've seen of the +42 Mach V wheels don't look anywhere near as tight and it's only 3mm difference.

245's with a 45 offset fit just fine fyi, had it on my car and someone is currently selling the same setup and wheels who has been running them for 2000 miles. I am probably going to get 35 offset with 255 (stock suspension)

It is tight. But I can't have it nor do in want it poking at the front. +35 pokes. Tight isn't an issue. It either touches or it doesn't. Last edited by 86•BRZ; 02-11-2013 at 04:34 PM. |

I'm thinking +45 with a 5mm spacer to bring it back to +40, or just staying with 8" wheels and 225 tires with +45.
I don't want any poke, especially up front and it's not a race car so I'm leaning towards the 8"/225 option.

Sorry for the late reply, I haven't been receiving notifications of posts at all consistently for a while now.
After adjusting toe and getting pressures right the feel is surely different from stock but with this setup it is either similar enough or at least natural enough that I adjusted quickly enough to not really be able to fairly compare them in my mind any more. I can tell I am turning a bit more rubber, but it sure doesn't feel like 40mm more and the grip is outstanding in comparison to stock. |

I'm glad I found this. I was just wondering if I could fit 255s at et 45! I have coils but I was still a little worried.

Silly question. Would this setup be MORE prone to rubbing without lowering the car? I have no intentions of doing any suspension work on mine but I want to go as wide as possible with a square setup. Do these tires clear only because the car is lowered or would it be ok even if it weren't?
