245 square setup... Need advice - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Ok I changed my mind again I'm going with a staggered setup.

What is an ideal wheel width for a 235 tire and I'm assuming a 9.5 wheel for the rear?

There is no "ideal" wheel width. A 235mm tire should be about 9.25 inches wide. If you want some stretch then go with a 9. If you want more stretch go with a 9.5. Generally I like to stay within the tire manufcaturers rim width recommendation so decide on a tire and go to their website or Tire Rack. If you want stretch go with the largest they advise and if you want meaty, then go with the smallest.

Sorry, I can't recommend ANY Rota wheel.

I ran a 235 f on an 8.5 and a 255 r on a 9.5, Hankook V12. Now I'm square and I'd recommend you re-think your position unless you are putting down 400whp+

To add: if I hadn' ave gone square I would have tried to put a 245 on the 8.5. The balance will be off. I ran quite a bit of front camber and it still was under-steering. I'm not a great drivier. If you are then maybe you will make up for it, but I still think you will enjoy the car immensely better with a square setup.

If you are hell bent on some 235's I'm selling mine. Once you go square, you wont go back...
