do you have more side shots

I'll post up some new shots tomorrow. I got my 265s on tonight, raised the rear a little to take out some camber, and need to adjust the fronts to my liking tomorrow.

Slightly on the fender liner at full lock. The inside wells were already rubbed through the underliiner they spray (seam sealer maybe?) and thinned out when I had 255s and was even lower lol

I put a supercharger on my wife's BRZ a few weeks back. The extra power was too much for the stock tires. These aren't as meaty as a lot of the tires in this thread, but they have solved the power/grip imbalance.

245/35ZR18 Michelin Pilot Super Sports and 18x9 wheels.

Depends on ride hight, camber, and offset of wheel.

Stock everything I would say 17x9 -40 offset with 245/40/17

Hey all,

Ive spent the last few hours reading these pages now (info overload) but thought id be best to ask..
**Please bare in mind im a complete novice at this wheel stuff**

I understand that 18x9.5e40 with a 255/35 will rub with stock suspension, but i was told that adding a 5mm spacer will stop it from rubbing completely, is this true? Would also like to know if adding a 5mm spacer is the same as the wheel being 18x9.5e35.

Thanks

18x9.5 with 285/30, tein street basis coilovers. Square setup, 285's on the front as well, they just poke about 5mm.
