there's WAY more to coilovers than height adjustment. start reading!

So should I run a 245 or 255 tire? Also should I be looking at +35 or +45 with 5mm spacers? I have SPC arms in the rear so I can camber them in a little bit but I don't want to wipe the tires out with -3*...I'd like to keep the camber under -2*

you won't need anywhere close to 3. especially if you're not slamming the thing.

the offset depends on what you want it to look like, iirc +45 isn't the concave face anymore so thats your call.

tire depends on brand, so one 245 will be skinny, while another brand will run fat and be as big as a 255...

I don't think so. The 18x9.5 RPF1s you are considering are probably lighter than the 17" OEM wheels. The tires might be 2-3 lbs more.

Jive Turkey · 05-06-2014, 03:15 PM

yeah those are 17x9 +35, but they are on coilovers.

i was worn, +45 is still concave face, can be seen here with a 255 (he is on coils though)

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26257

here is the clearance on the +35, i think you'll be just fine with a 245.

and here is the clearance issue with a +45 on stock struts, thats too close for comfort.

Yeahh I think it's gonna be a 17x9 +35 with 245/40 tires...10mm short of being "meaty"

Jive Turkey · 05-06-2014, 04:47 PM

its meaty enough! just as long as its not stretched on the rim you're good to go

245 on a 9" rim should have a nice looking bulge to it, not sure what tire I want to run...I'm a Michelin fan so PSS sounds good to me but I want a higher treadwear number becausedailydriver so I'm thinking Bridgestone S04 Pole Position
