235/40/17 on 17x9 +35 Enkei RPF1? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

stlgrym3 · 11-09-2018, 10:54 PM

will this stretching the tires a bit? I’ve used 245/50/17 before on the same size wheels but did not like the fact the front tires are sticking out a bit.

stlgrym3 · 11-13-2018, 07:26 PM

Anyone?

It's fine

arkanist · 11-13-2018, 07:36 PM

235 on a 9" is fine.

235/40 is hardly a stretch. The Stock tires look stretched on a 17x9. What 235/40 are you getting? They are fairly rare. You could also get a 245/40/17. They are stock diameter.

245/50 17 is way too tall of a sidewall profile

You can bring in the poke in the front with some camber bolts or anything that allows adjustable front camber.

decided to go with 245 instead. anyone know if 245/40/17 on 17x9 +35 wheels lowered on RCE Yellow springs have any rubbing issue?

No rubbing issues. But a set of camber bolts in the front is suggested.

It might be close to the front fenders. Adding a little camber will solve the problem.

According to that you are gonna need around 2 degrees of negative camber up front so that you don't rub the fender.

That's wrong, sorry. Ive run 18x9 with 245/35 in the front with +37, +32, and +30 offsets. I had between -1 to -1.5 from just a set of camber bolts. Never rubbed the fender. though , I was close to the spring perch, but did not rub.

Op you will be fine.

Edit: I was also lowered more with softer springs in the front. Vs RCE Yellow springs.

You are totally right, it looks like I might have entered something wrong - that's on me, don't blame the site I linked.

I am seeing OPs setup clearing with very little camber, and to verify the site I entered the fitments you mentioned and it shows them all clearing to a similar tolerance.
