Hi guys need some help I have trd lowering springs and just bought rims that are 18x9.5 +35 offset. Wanted to keep the springs for now if possible without scraping and hitting the fenders or suspension. So I need help with what tire sizes will fit. Thanks.

245/35/18 all around should fit. Its thight in the front, so let it check again from your tire guy, but it should fit.

You can also staggef the tire setup to 245/35/18 front and 265/30/18 rear

hey I got a quick question, I just tried putting wheels and tires on my 16 BRZ today. So from what I gathered from forum searching was that 245/35r18 would be a good fit all around, so I bought 18x9 +45 Konig integrams and Michelin pss and the tires touched the springs in the front, any suggestions for what to do now?

hi i'm looking at 949 racing 17x8 6UL, offset is +40 and trying to go for a "meatier" tyre look i've gone on a couple of fitment calculators, and have come up with 2 tyre sizes 245/40R17 and 225/45R17, my question is will either of these have rubbing or clearance issues either front or rear?
i'm on stock set up but looking to lower 1" in the future

Everyone fits RB differently. You could fit either.

2016 BRZ Limited

Looking to get either 17" or 18" Rota DPT in Bronze with Bridgestone Potenza S-04. Still debating if I want stock tire size or go wider on 17's. Or move up to 18's - something like 225 width.

Need help with width and offset. I plan to drop the car 1.0-1.2". I believe these were the choices given:

17x7.0
17x8.0
18x8.0
18x8.5

The other choice is
18x8 Rota Tarmac 3 - Sports Bronze(5x100/e48/56.1)

I emailed the company that sells the rims for offsets. I don't see these on rota's website. Not sure if they are discontinued or I missed them.

They only list 17x9 on web site

Looks like they are discontinued anyway. He might be getting last stock.

The other wheel is 18x8 Rota Tarmac 3 - Bronze 5x100 e48/56.1

Looks like Rota doesn't even come close to the offsets needed for our cars. Then again, not sure how much 28-32 to 48 offset looks like on the car

thats easy to tell

its all in mm, so +48 is 16mm more "inside the fender" than an +32
