There is ofc performance impact on this (accelleration and cornering) however its in the lower % range, so I doubt you will actually notice a big difference. No clue about the "bumber tab" thing, 255 will fit in the rear with no modifications

Stock 215/45-17 is about 24.6/24.7 inches tall. 255/40 is 26 inches tall. 25inches or so is a good size, +/- a half inch a so(2-3%). 26 inches is pushing it, it is a mustang(aka bigger car) size. Performance impact, they will be taller and make your gearing longer, about 4%. They won't rub because of width, more likely they will rub because of height. Bumper tab is the area that connects the bumper to the rear fender/quarter panel. You also might rub on the side markers up front. |

9.5's are difficult on stock struts without major poke. 225/40/18 is a better tire size diameter wise. 225/45 are for 17's. Tires will be stretched quite a bit. You may need a 3-5mm spacer up front. Wheel will poke out quite a bit. Clearance on a +38 9.5 is around 10mm on stock suspension. +35 gives you 3 more mm. BUT lowering gives you camber which takes that all away. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...postcount=2768 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...postcount=2762 Will it fit? Probably with a spacer. Will it fit good? Probably not. Is it safe? Every car is slightly different. |

Now read my post #3138 about tire height. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...postcount=3138 Go look up your tire height. And then go outside with a ruler and figure out if that difference in height and clearance. Soft suspension, combined with tall tires means your suspension would move more than a firmer setup(coilovers). If you wanna look cool , you gotta take chances, or just buy coils and a correct tire and wheel size. You are cutting it close with width and diameter. Good luck. |

Just bought my FRS and I don't know much about sizing etc. I'm trying to learn which is why I'm here lol. I was looking at getting some new tires and rims so I guess My question is, would these fit?
Tires: Hankook rs3 255/35 r18 Rims: Advan Racing - GT 18x8.0 Offset:45 Bolt pattern: 5x100 If those don't fit then what would you guys recommend? Remember, I don't know much so I'm learning lol. Thanks in advance guys. |

The RS3 is also wider than normal. A 225/40 might fit best. Do you AutoX? If not, you may want another tire for longevity. It is soft and wears faster than other street tires. Good luck! |

So a 225/40 18x8.0 45 will be a good fit then? I want the off-set to be lined up with the sides if that makes sense. I don't want it to be really close to rubbing the wheel well. What tire would you recommend? I was looking at the Proxy T1 Sport. Would they be better? Last edited by Lastexile; 06-05-2016 at 04:42 AM. |

Looks to be the same as @Leonardo but I am not sure if lowering will affect/how much @Leonardo is lowered. This was as close as I could get to stock radius: http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-...5R17/245-35R18
Enkei Ts-10 18x8 +45 245/35/18 either S-04s or PSS for the tires which don't seem to run super wide. Lowered ~20mm on the RCE Yellows. ~-.5 camber in front, ~-2.5 camber in rear, with stock LCAs. Thanks
