Scion FR-S on Squared 18x9.5
I am planning on running the Rota PWR's 18x9.5" square set up.
What tire size is recommended for a perfect flush fit. The car will not be tracked and I prefer stance with minimum stretch. Would a 235 tire fit with +35 offset? thanks :happy0180: |

It will fit but will stretch more than you would prefer. Try at least a 245 but I think a 255/35 would be the best fit

235 is fairly stretched. @DarkCard, do you have a close up picture of the stretch on that tire? Bet'cha it shows a bit better up close than from far away in those shots you posted.

I'm actually in the same pickle, I have 18x9.5 +38. I don't know what tire size to get, something that still provides maximum grip but doesn't require fender work

Enough. Please don't mount less than a 245 on a 9.5 inch wheel.

I have my front camber maxed on the top hats, but as you can see not a whole lot. Regular torques, and I'm lowered on fortune auto 500s.. Despite what people want to say its not a crazy stretch, Its perfect without going overboard. I daily the car everyday. Just make sure your not aiming for potholes like anything else. 245 you wont be able to get as low without some rubbing. (and poke)

A 9.5 deserves real meat. 265/35/18 is what we're on... Feed your fat wheels!
