Will this fit? (width, offset and tire size Qs)

[Estey]

Okay so I currently have 25mm spacers all around on stock rims with eibach sportlines.
My plans are to put 30mm spacers in the back, and then stretch my tires a little bit, and then drop the car on coils 2-2.5 inches.
My question is what size tires should i get to have a really nice fitment? Ill be running spc camber bolts and lower control arms of course.
I want a fitment with no gap that doesnt look super meaty, but doesnt look really stretched if that makes sense. Basically a mild stretch.

Just got a set of wheels today that already came with tires on them... hoping to ride them out until I can afford to change them... Will they fit?

Front 17x8.5 +44 w/245/45/17 tires
Rear 17x8.5 +44 w/245/45/17 tires

my car is stock height

Here is a fitment question for you gurus.

I have a set of Buddy Club wheels left over form my IS300 that have new rubber and I would like to see if I can get them to fit on my BRZ without looking ridiculous (too much poke/camber). Since the BCs are 5X114, I know I will have to swap the hub or run spacers conversions. Fronts are 18X8 +38, and rear is 18X8 +35. I was thinking of the Kics 11mm 5/100 to 5/114 spacers but I am questioning the front and if there would be too much poke. I think the rears will be ok, but not to sure about it. I've run it though the fitment calculator and it seems close but I was hoping to get some opinions form ppl here. Eventually I will get coilovers but, for now these wheels would be paired with Sportlines.

So with the spacers the specs would be;

Front 18x8 +27 w/225/40s
Rear 18X8 +24 w/225/40s

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Considering a set of Wheels for my FRS's Winter Tires.

ProDrive P7 17" (Coming off a Forester)
Width 7"
Offset 52 or 53mm (Awaiting E-Mail from ProDrive)
5 x 100
Bore 56.1mm
Plan on going with OEM Tire size if possible 215/45 17
Car is Stock Height, not lowered

Looking to find out if these will fit and if anything will need to be done to help with fitment.

I'm not sure what you mean by "the guards", but the top of tire will be inside the top of the wheel opening in the fender. If that's how they measure it, you should be quite alright.

My sig below shows my wheels on 245/35R18 and they just fit. Technically, yours should be inboard by an extra 6-10mm (outside of wheel).

So I had a change of heart LOOL. Thinking of actually running 18 x 9.5 +38 rims instead with the same tyres that were aforementioned. Can you confirm if this setup will have the wheels inside the fenders?

If not, how much negative camber would I have to run for them to tuck inside?

Thanks in advance, buddy.

Kind regards,
Michael

I know this might be a repetitive question, but I have the stock 17" STI rims since I have the Series.Blue.

I wanted a meatier tire just to have it stick out a bit more. I don't like the way the 215's look.

Wanted to know if it's just a matter of buying a larger size set of tires and then just as easy as installing them without doing anything?

I was looking into either buying the Michelin Pilot Sports 3.

Basically, can I just plug and play or will I have to do some minor mods?

Any help is appreciated!

You can run a 225/45/17 no problem. I have. No mods needed. I have MPSS, but also suggest the Pilot sport A/S3.

This guy has 17x8 +53 with 235/45/17. You will be fine with the +53 7 inch wide wheels.

ProDrive make awesome wheels!

Thanks for the response!

Would you happen to know if that would be the best for the setup i'm going for? Is there a maximum size that I should hit before I would need to start to mod?

Thanks in advance!

Well, the 225 will look squarer than the 215. If that is what you are going for. Do you like the stock wheels or plan on keeping them? If you want wider than 225, I would get wider wheels. If you are happy with the stock wheels; 225 A/S3's will be a nice upgrade over the primacys.

Hello everyone,

My FRS is on stock struts lowered on TRD springs (SLIGHT DROP)

I don't plan on going for coilovers in the future.

Will 17x8.5 +45 VOLK TE37SL fit this car (more worried about the front) with no problems?

Planning to run 245/40 tires

Thank you in advance everyone!

Hi,

I'm looking to change to Advan RGIII 18x8 +37, with 225/40R18.
I would like to know the pros and cons between choosing 8in wide or 8.5in. The 8.5in offset comes in +31 or +47 only.
Please advise.
Thanks!

[Patty hoo hoo]

I need to know if this will fit and if anyone is running this set up and if so pics please!
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!

No problem, unless you have added extra camber, but the inside tire will still be close to the spring perch. Worse case is you may have to run a 3-5mm spacer up front, no biggie. Rears, no issue at all.
