I guess it also depends on if you're going to track your car. I'm running -1.2 in front and -1.5 in back for my daily driver and it's been great handling wise. It feels definitely much better than stock.

If you want traction, 255 or 265 is what you want.

245 is perfectly fine, but it's just not as fit as 255

I went with 255. Some went with 225 on 9.5! =="

Ok, I was just wondering if 255 was going to feel weird and try to follow the road. I'm going with a 245 plus a 5mm spacer.

hanabie · 03-27-2014, 08:59 PM

Lol no.. Id go without 5mm spacer. Also, you dont look like a pro driver. Either 245 or 255 wont make any diff for u. The only thing that bothers u is ur brain.

245/40/18's on 18x9.5, it's not exactly stretched, but it's not perfectly square, also depends on tire brand.

Sweet looking set up!

Did you need to add some additional negative camber in the front to eliminate any weird poke?

My 255 Continental DWS looks like that 245, so brand matters

It is poking in the front

I do see that, a bit. I test fit my 18x9.5s on stock ride height and it looked a bit extreme in the poke region.

I'm in a mental coilover debate, and trying to see if once it's lowered, that added camber is enough, or if I need to specifically add MORE camber with plates / bolts in the front.

I did camber it in up front to the max the coilover slot had. It barely pokes out. Top of the tires is still under the fender.

Thanks man! That helps. So, in the event of getting adjustable top hats, it basically goes towards its negative most setting?

Ok, I am down to 3 wheels and i can't decide which one I like better. If you would list your opinions please.

These wheels will be on a WRB BRZ and they will be chrome when I order them

1.) Rota Torque

2.) Rota Grid

3. Enkai RPF1 SBC

I'm running 245/40-18's on 9.5. Best thing for me is that it made the digital speedo accurate finally.

Superhatch · 04-11-2014, 01:03 AM

Here is a 245/45 on a 17x8. I think 245 on a 9.5 isn't wide enough, but I'm always a fan of a tire meeting the edge of the wheel.

Also of note: Im running an E85 Stg 2 NA tune with an intake and the 245 DII's are just the right amount of grip. I can stick or break free depending on how I feel like driving. With a SC kit a 245 wouldn't be enough tire IMO.
