Meaty Tire Thread

[BRZ'13]

Having some issues with my set up.

Installed 265/35/18 achillies 123s rear tires this weekend and its rubbing on the quarter panel lip with 2 degrees camber

Wheels are miro111 size 18x9.5 et 40. When i park slanted on a driveway i can barely fit a credit card between the gap which makes me believe its not rubbing against the lip but there is certainly tire marks there

I am corner balanced if that helps. Not sure if i should add more camber or shave the lip down? Anyone shave theirs? I dont think the rears can be rolled. Looks tight.

17 x 8.5j CE28 on 255 NT01..

Decided to ditch the Mach V wheels for track and use these instead.

Would a 18x9.5 +45 with 265/35 Pilot Sport Cup 2's fit in the rear on stock struts with Eibach springs? I have coilovers and they're installed in the front, but due to reasons I'm back to springs/stock struts in the rear temporarily. I have the stock wheels on right now, but wanted to mount my wheels before I have the chance to reinstall the coilovers in the rear.

I think you might be able to get away with it... But if your drop doesn't provide enough camber, you might have some rubbing issues...

If you have the wheels, why not put them on and find out?

I think you might get away with it.. I'm unsure about the offset as I have 18x9.5 +40 on the rears with 255/35 MPSS and they fit quite nicely. Which Eibach springs do you have? That could help determine how low you are in the rear.

I have LCAs too, so camber shouldn't be an issue
The car is in winter storage and the wheel are in my living room :p And my garage is a few miles from home. So I was just trying to get information first, if someone said it would absolutely not fit, I'd just leave the wheels at home until I got the coilovers on

I don't know what springs actually, haha. I was told when I bought the car that it had TRD springs, but the springs have the Eibach logo on them, so obviously they're Eibachs. No idea of the model though.

Well, then I agree with @Joe-G if you have the wheels already why not just put them on and find out for yourself? Reading about your situation if your car is in storage then why are you worried about it fitting? It seems like you're answering your own questions here

Haha I was just trying to figure out if someone knew for sure I am bringing the car out of storage this weekend, hence I wanted to know if I should bring the wheels with me or not. They won't fit in my other car, so that means I have to use a bigger one. I think this is way too offtopic now, haha

you can roll the rear, mine is rolled flat.

your probably rubbing on the bumper-just trim it. or your tire will trim it for you.

Hellaflush 😆🙌🏻 hah

It's only temporary for a car check with the authorities. I'll post how it looks on 265's in the sunshine in a bit to make up for this..
