I was dead set on 255/40R17 federal 595 RSR's, but since they apparently run wide, that would end up being a 265ish size tire. So now I'm worried the rubbing in the front might be too bad? Looking for about -3 camber in the front, maybe more. I'm ok with some basic fender work. Let me know what you guys think... thanks

ive never heard of wheels that are .25 for the width. clean looking car nonetheless.

Hey bro I ended up on some Federal 595's. I didnt really want them but ended up with them lol long story...regardless they are meaty as fuck. Heres a pic for an idea. My fittment is 18x9.5 +40 255/35. Most tires wouldnt have a sidewall past the lip of my rims size. these go just a hair past the lip. very meaty.

They look great. Might try them on my 18 x 9.5 next set.

Are these the 595, 595RS-R, 595RPM or 595EVO?

Those are just the 595, or also referred to as SS595

Do you think I'd lose the ability to go full lock with this tire setup? Because I wanted to be able to throw some drift spares on the rear and still have some sideways fun every now and then

honestly i'm not too sure, i ONLY rub going forward full lock left. only. so fucking weird

I hope I'm meaty enough for a contribution now. I know it's a basic look but I'm loving the car even more everytime I look at it lol.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CONFIRM IF THIS WILL FIT SHIIIIIIIIET

18x9.5 + 43 rims, square
265/35R18 all around

Have MCA coilovers, with the ability to adjust camber front and back (but i don't want to go more than -1 deg on the rear, front can go to about -2.5 if needed)

thoughts?

Ok cool i'll take that as a "yes, they will fit"

Panman · 07-28-2015, 07:45 AM

@Arcade_West I'd give Murray or Josh at MCA a call, even with the extra clearance you get from MCAs they (and I) would recommend a test fit.

Rears will almost certainly have sufficient clearance, but front is an unknown (I can tell you with standard springs and shocks 17x9 +35 and 245/40/17 doesn't have more than a few mm to play with - camber bolts are out for example as they change the SAI
