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

My car is 18x9.5 square (+38). I run a 235/40/18 Its perfect imo

WOW! :eyebulge:
Perfect fitment man :party0030:! What are you lowered on?
Any camber?
Are those regular rota torques or ultimate concave?

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

Go with the 245/35/18.

How much could the car safely drop without rubbing and very little camber?

What he said. I have this size in Michelin Pilot Super Sports on Work CR 18x9.5 + 38 and have absolutely no rubbing issues and required no fender work at all.

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

Thanks dude, I appreciate the feedback

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! :)

What did you have to do to get this to fit?

I'm looking at a set of 18x9.5+40 NT03+M wheels and would love to go "honkin' huge" on the tires.
