Looks amazing, favorite meaty setup so far.

We are working on a build page but we are running eibach r2 coil overs with about an 1.5 inch drop. Camber is 1.5 front and rear. The wheels are wedssports SA-15R 18/9.5/48. We are running a 6mm spacer in the front making our final offset a 42. The spacer gave use the room needed to run BFG R1 slicks and we decided to leave them when we switched to the hankook Rs3 275/35/18.

i burned up my stock tires in the rear so now i have the front with the stock 215/45/17 and the rear is 245/45/17 no rub no problems.

wondering if i can put the same size in the front with out rubbing....
Can i put a 245/45/17 on the front with out rubbing? i dont wanna have to adjust camber

We had 235/40/17 on stock wheels before upgrading to our new meats. No problems with the 235 @NYCsubaruBRZ

im not so great with rim tire fitment. so if a 235/40/17 will fit without rubbing, than a 245/45/17 will fit? (in front)

It's going to flare out on the stock rim and feel different it should be fine. Put Your rear to the front. With out looking I'm 90% sure it will.

Just about flush, which is more in line with how an exotic performance car comes from the factory. I'll dial in more front camber when I switch to coilovers. Only downside is that I can't rotate the tires, so I'll be buying new ones every year

Perfect fit I think i'm going for the same type of look next spring with my FSR.

Thanks for that info. It's good to have a first hand account when looking into something as important as tires.

Also, what the hell is the gif in your signature from? It's hypnotic.

The classic 18x9.5 et38 RPF1 in SBC with Fortune Auto v4 500 coilovers on some crappy tires for daily duty. 255/35 on all 4 corners. Alignment still needs dialed in, just got the coilovers on a couple of days ago.

What springs are you using? What offset? How much camber?
