Ok so like I say, I'm pretty new to the scion family, I don't really
Know any frs/brz owners here in town and also my phone for some reason only allows me to search sometime.. Anyways i wanna know if this wheel spec is too aggressive ?? 17x9.5 +20 on like a 2finger drop.. Any feedback is welcome and thanks . Going to get some wheels soon but I'm stuck on what spec I want to get..

Edit: tire size 225/45?

Or would it be better off running 18x9.5 +34 ?

Are you on coils or springs?
If coils you're chillin and just will need to camber to pull in the poke you'll get. If you want it to be easy go 3.5

If you're on springs you'll have too much back spacing on the rim. For that width

Also, cars and coffee tomorrow. Willow & international at the north side parking lot of Clovis community college

Again my frs/brz brothers, What tires will be best for my wheel spec.. Daily and not a big fan of big stretch tires.. But I can do a little maybe.. So far I have 225/45 or 225/40 in mind.. Wheel spec is 18x9.5 +35 all around.. Any feed back will be great.. ��

If you dont want a stretch you need like a 245/40. Hell, I run 225/45 on my oem wheels. Lol

You def want wider than 225/40 I run that on my 18x9 only because I have stock struts (need a little space) but like the other guy said go wider I think 245/35 or something but don't quote me. Check the fitment Thread to see what other people running

Here's a site I used for tire sizing, http://www.frsproject.com/tire_size.php
Honestly if you're on coilovers I'd got a little chunkier on the tire!

Come out to some of the meets with your car man!
