Fitment on 18x9.5 +38
Hi, need some guidance on any Fitment related issues for this set up. I know next to nothing about wheels.
I want to run the WedsSport SA-10r (18x9.5 38 is the only size locally available to me). I’ve had a look around the forums but it seems most people commenting on these wheels are running either 18x9.5 +45 or 18x8.5 +38. Fender rubbing and issues with hitting the struts seems to be brought up regarding those 2 sizes. I want to run these with 255x35 PS4’s, keeping stock shocks and putting lowering springs for a 1 inch drop. Just wanted to know whether anyone knows from experience whether I will run into rubbing issues or have to roll the fenders. I’m not looking to run coilovers , mess with camber or lower the car any more than 1inch as I have enough trouble on stock height with scraping and it’s my daily. Also is 9.5 too wide for this car? My current setup is 17x7.5 +40 with 225/45/17 Thanks  This thread got close to giving me the answer I’m looking for but in the end it seemed to relate to the +45 offset version of the wheel. https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84855 Last edited by Sam86; 03-26-2022 at 07:00 PM. |

255/35/18 on those wheels would rub on the stock spring perch up front for sure.
For comparison I'm currently on 245/35/18 on the same size wheels as you mention, 18x9.5 +38, lowered on RCE Yellows springs and have maybe 2-3mm between the tire and the spring perch up front. It's a super tight fit so I'm sure under some sharp turns I rub a little bit. Tl;dr: 245/35/18 will be limit for tire size unless you do coilovers. 18x9.5 +38 fits but barely |

I actually have these exact wheels in this same fitment (18x9.5 +38) and am running the tires you are looking to get (Michelin PS4S 255/35). I'm on coilovers though, and you will for sure need them to run this setup. No rubbing and my camber is 2.5 Front and 2.0 Rear. The front pokes very slightly at the bottom but at the top its flush

Appreciate the responses, really want the thick tire look but I guess I’ll have to go 245 because there’s no way I will be able to daily coilovers with how low my front end is, still on stock height
