Will I be able to fit 255/35/18 with 18x9.5 et34 for the rear without any poking? I don't have any camber kit either and am lowered on coilovers..

No issue with that tire on the rears, you could run a 265 if you wanted. The wheel determines flushness or not, but you will be pretty flush with that setup, camber dependant of course.

Don't think you will be flush with combo. I am flush on 18x9+35 with also a 1" drop (see sig pic), and you'll be a further 19-20mm inward. Not sure what offsets are available for that wheel, but something more like +35 will be closer to flush. Camber also impacts on flushness as well, what are you at?

Well I just ordered the rims and BC coilovers, Its a daily driver. I havent even begun looking at tires... I was thinking of adding spacers. Camber probably will be 0 since its a DD and I usually wont drive it aggressively. Im very new to this.

thanks.. I'm concerned if I should run 9.5" rear would be a bit poke.. i stated I have no camber adj..I'm worried cuz you said you have 9" and you're sitting flush... 1/2" poke is alot.. with the frsproject calculator, I'm good but I dunno how accurate it is with the fender

I was unaware of the frsproject site. Thanks for mentioning it. That, used with rims n tires dot com tire comparer and tyre stretch dot com. It should be easy to determine the proper fit.

It's not really 1/2 difference in poke, only 1/4" (1/4" more inside, 1/4" more outside) which is fine for the rears.

But with 0 camber, it will poke. Most guys running a wider wheel will have some camber due to lowering which will pull the top of the tire under the wheel arch.

ya you're right.. i was thinking about 9.5vcomparing to 8.5 for some reason haha I'm lowered with one finger gap in the rear with stockies right now and it looks like top of the rim is about 1" from flush. ah the dilemma maybe i should just go with 8.5" square ..

So I originally wanted to get staggered 18x8.5/9.5 wheels and read it that would be pretty flush at 1.5" drop.

Now these new SSR GTV01 wheels came out but only have it in size 18x8.5. Im willing to go square set up and add spacers to make it flush. Only, I dont really know much about spacers.

Will I need spacers to make it flush? If so, what brand / size spacers do you recommend?

GTV 01, BRZ / FRS fitments will be 18x8.5 +44mm offset. They are currently price around $1600.

Use a 25mm spacers in the rear to be flush. Front, use a 10mm spacers or just run wider tires, 245/40.

Should be around Jan/Feb for delivery.

One thing I do know is you do not want zero camber all way around. As car suspension compresses and you turn etc you want some bite. Even -1 to -1.5 all way around. It's not going I have crazy wear, be less actually then zero as you have I think of positioning under pressure and turning etc. This car IMO would skate all over with zero especially in the rear. Zero toe is good however.

How about this. Stock suspension. With 18x9.5ET34 with 245/35/18 all around only 3mm taller than stock.

Not really any room for 9.5 up front with stock suspension.
