Please advise.
Thanks!

The 18x8 +37 will fit without issue anywhere.

Pros and Cons?
It's not a huge difference, so doubt anyone will notice but you.
Pretty much the same tire size, and you should be able to run up to 245/35R18 on both. The 225-wide is better suited for a 7.5+8" wide wheel while the 245 is better on the 8.5" but there is a bit of play there (like folks with 225's on 9's, lol).

I would suggest you choose the wheel width that gives you the best offset of the 2. For me, I would go with the 8" +37 as opposed to the 8.5+31 (+47 will fit but lots of tuck).

The other thing to consider is suspension upgrade, not sure if you are lowered or not. Also, tire choice is a factor, easier to run the bigger tire with the 8.5+31.

18x9.5 40+ with a 215 or 225 size tire.
I always have a st coilovers and I plan on maxing them out. I want to be stanced. I do have LCA and plan on getting adjustable tow's for the rear so camber is what I'm going for but I don't want to do anything crazy!
If anyone is running this/will it fit please let me know!

Best to post here as these guys are of the same mindset as you (stance crowd).

As you can see from this thread (if you choose to read the whole thing or just a few pages), pretty crazy wheels and offsets can be made to fit if you want it to.

The wheels will fit, but stanced is all about camber. Read on...

Is it possible to have enough camber for a 17x8 +32 not to poke up front without it looking ridiculous?

[hotsaucepanda]

will this guys fit? I'm looking at this 3SDM 0.06 18" 5x100 et35 245. I want to run the same size on all four. will this be possible if I go 2" down? My only fear is for the tires to touch. Im installing st suspension coilovers xta as well.

thanks for all the help guys

Hi,
Quick question, do I need extended lugs with 10mm spacers?
With stock wheels and a +47 Advan rim.
Thanks!

Plan on running 18 x 10 +36 Square. Ideally I would like to run 275/35/18 square but i doubt i could fit that in the front. What do you guys suggest? I'm on coilovers.

I will run H&R coilovers and want a square wheel setup on my EU 2014 GT86.

Plan is to run 9.5x18 with either 245/40-18(MPSS) or 255/35-18(PZero) but the question is if I should go for ET35 or ET40? What issues could I be facing?

That shouldn't poke out much at all even without camber.

These are RPF1 17x8 +35. So you're only 3mm further out.

And with a mild drop, the natural camber will bring them in a bit.

The answer is yes to extended studs, but you could go with an extended lugnut like this also:


Not sure what you mean by stock wheels and Advan +47 wheels though.
I would consider a wheel with a better offset instead of dealing with studs or extended lugnuts.

What width are these wheels?
Even with an 18x9 +35, you can fit a 245 on all corners easily. I am running that spec wheel with 255/35R18 currently with no rubbing and -2.2F/-2.0R camber on a 1" drop.

With a 2" drop, you should be okay with 245/35R18 with the proper camber settings.

You can run a 275 up front with coilovers, the issue is not with the tires but with the wheel size and your offset. Looks like alot of poke unless you camber the crap out of it.

See the aggressive wheels thread here for more info:

Between those 2 offsets I would choose the +40 since you have coilovers installed and this will tuck the wheels in a bit more.
With the +35, you will need more camber dialed-in to eliminate the poke or rubbing.

Tire size for that wheel should be the 255/35R18 or 245/35R18. A 245/40R18 will be too tall.
