Also running right now with no spacers and still seem to have room, but would the 265 be an issue on the rears?? Thanks.

Here is a tire size calculator. Plug in the stock tire specs and plug in the tires you are going to upgrade to and it will give you all the information you are looking for. https://www.discounttiredirect.com/l...ize-calculator

It won't make any reasonable different and there is ZERO reason to stagger tire sizes on the 86. ZERO. Run 255 or 265 square.

Thanks for the information. I wanted 265 around but I have a friend that said the 265 up front started to rub as the wheel fully turned. I'm just running the coil overs and no other mods in the wheel area, would I still be ok with the 265 up front?

Looking to join the 18 inch club. Currently on a 17x9 +35 245/40/17 setup with coils, no lca or camber bolts in the front.

Can I get away with 18x9.5 245/40/18 without camber adjustments? Just stock parts? Do I need to roll my fenders to fit 18inches or will I be okay with the 245 tires?

So am I understanding this correctly: I am attempting to get tien flex A coils from CSG, and will put 18x9.5 +40 with 265/40 on my car. Will this cause any rubbing? If its a yes, would dropping down to 255/40 remove rubbing? Just trying to wrap my head around this.

as a sidenote: for daily driving and maybe some spirited canyoning, what should a good camber be on F/R?

You will rub on the rear bumper tab with 265/35. A 255/40 is much bigger (26" diameter vs. 24.6" OEM). To go smaller, you would want 255/35/18. (25" Diameter)

People seem to be ignoring diameter.

Thanks for the response. Is there a how-to for fixing this? I've been googling brz rear bumper tab fix, but am not finding anything.
Not sure what to do to not make it rub.

265/35/18 tires rub on the bumper tab. They will rub on the tab till they wear off the area that touches or till you cut it off your car. That's how its done. Or use 245/35/18 for stock diameter spec. Or 255/35/18 , which is generally the largest size tire to fit without modification of the car. (car, not suspension- you will need coilovers to fit the wheels and tires you want)

i don't want to be rude, but this has been beaten to fucking death in here. the entire first post is incredibly detailed for a reason, yet we get non-stop reposts of the same questions.

the rear bumper tab is the little corner of the bumper on the inside of the wheel well where it meets the quarter. if you don't do it it will simply trim itself, not a problem you'll just hear rubbing noises at times under compression....which is also a big difference. if you have shit BC suspension you have no suspension travel you won't rub.

You see my setup, the ONLY times i rubbed are full lock, and even then it was a maybe.

if you stick to a 40 offset and a 265/35 you'll be fine if not slammed.

an all you people in here worried about rubbing, think to yourself, how often do you go full lock, I hardly ever did/do.
