Here it is... Meaty Tire Thread Because i have no idea where my original thread went i figured i start a thread for ALL BRZ/FRS's that run meaty tire size. anything 255+ would be considered meaty for these purposes, everything else is just "normal" tire size. just a few things that get asked ALL the time in here: 1) Most of us run a coilover, you really won't fit a 9.5 wheel up front with stock struts and will have minimal clearance with a 245 tire on a 9 inch wide rim with a 40-ish offset. 2) not all suspensions are created equal and not all cars are created equal. if something works on someones car, that doesn't mean it will be identical on yours, generally its true but not always applicable. 3) LCA are needed to adjust rear camber unless you don't care to correct it, you may also need toe arms or more toe adjustment via a bushing depending on your vehicle. 4) rolling and slightly pulling your fenders will give you more clearance than you think please post up you modifications, any fitment tips, and obviously feel free to use this is a photo dump for others to get ideas. if i need to edit something in the OP just lmk. and now here is what i went through with my BRZ. brought to you by @AZP Installs give them a shout if you need anything, ESPECIALLY alignments, suspension work and track prep. wheel/tires combo's i've fitted. 18x9.5 +40 Rays Gramlights 57xtreme w/ 265/35 RE-11 tire 18x9.5 +40 Rays Gramlights 57getter w/ 265/35 MPSS tire Current suspension: RCE t2 coilover Group-n top hats front GR STi rear tophats SPC camber bolt SPC rear control arms Whiteline adjustable toe arms perviously on AST 4150 and KW V3 and in pictures with xtreme's) PARTS I DO NO RECOMMEND: CUSCO rear LCA (PITA to adjust, if you don't do your own alignment then disregard and pay in labor) WHITELINE COM C tophats (bearing failed 3 times) YOU WILL RUB at first. its the plastic part of the rear bumper, its not a big deal and will rub itself out of you can dremel it. (the corner to the bumper inside the fender) Second I had an issue with my passenger fender, it rubbed on the part closest to the sidemarkers. if you feel the fender there, it flares out towards the side marker, you want to roll that part in to avoid any issues in the future or else you risk chipping the paint or gashing the tire....i luckily caught it early. Third, and probaby most important. once we let the KW's settle we had to take camber out. it settled to around -3.5' in the rear at the heigh i'm at. i did not want to run that much at all, nor do i need that much for clearance issues. once it settle i fixed the camber with the control arms however the STOCK toe arms did not cut it with the Cusco arms..so i upgraded to whitelines My alignment specs are as follows: camber F/R= -1.8/1.6 (-2.7 f/-1.8 rear for track) front toe out= .08 Rear toe in= .08 car drives like a dream. |

If Jive's setup rubs at the height he is (look at pictures and you'll see its a good 1" to 1.5" lower), you most likely will too. Of course, you can always just run more camber to keep from that happening, but that's on you. The answers are here in this thread. Multiple times, in fact. A little searching a reasonable (or common) sense would be enough to quickly answer your question.

Wrong. a +38 will push the wheel 2mm out (away from the strut) compared to a +40.

I can't do all the work for you. Turn to page one and give this thread a few minutes. I have read the whole thing. Everything is explained in detail. Many questions asked, just like yours, with answers. Also, I already told you it will fit with coilovers.
