Will this fit? (width, offset and tire size Qs)

[arxm]

whats a good tire size for an 18x8.5 rim I bought it with 275s all around and the fronts rub, i was thinking 245/40's or 245/35 but I'm not too sure, any input?

245/35/18, perfect dimensions for the twins and fits a 8.5" wheel very well

I am a bit confused after using multiple sites trying to get the right rim. Both the wheel directory and tirerack site shows the enkei raijin 18x8 +45 do for the subaru brz. However 1010tires says that it does not fit the subaru brz. Can someone confirm which to be the correct info.

They fit.

I'm currently running 17x9 +35 wheels with 255/40 tires on stock suspension. It fits fine right now but if I run swift spec r lowering springs and try to get about -2.0 up front will I run in to fittement issues?

I'll post some pics when everything is all done, as the snow keeps falling up here.

Here we go.

Upper oe crash bolt, lower moog/spc all at max camber, 17x8 +35 on 255/40 RE11. String aligned, rack numbers soon. Non official -1.8.

No rub at max lock, under load (street load i am not a dumb ass) and i doubt anything will ever rub on track. 1st track outing of the season april 30th.

Peace !

It will be very close.
Some report 1.3-1.5 camber fits fine, anymore they needed to add a 3mm spacer.
Every car is slightly different.
I'd tell you to go look in the rpf1 17x9 +35 and see what others experience.

What tires? A street tire should be ok, a 200tw summer tire might be cutting it close.
Swift r's are the lower ones?
Do you feel safe with 3-5mm of clearance? how about 2mm?

I'm using hankook rs3s. The spec r is a 1.1 inch drop up front. I've seen some ppl here make it work with -2 camber up front but I would like more conformation. Thanks!

Good luck, post your experience when it happens.

with Michelin Pilot Super Sport 245/45r17 fit with stock suspension? how about 1" drop?

I just want a slight higher ride height since work speed bumps, and bad roads at killing my bumper and frame. Also fill the wheel well better w/o modifying suspension.

I understand 245/40 fits with stock and with 0.7 - 1.0 inch drops.

It'll fit. On bigger bumps/more compression it will be close to the bumper tab.
Scroll down a little to the red frs, it has it on the rear. You should be ok as you won't be as low. I believe that car belongs to Charles, I forgot his screen name and not sure if he is still around.

Yeah, I'm 90% sure it'll fit on the rears, someone with RPF1's fit on the rears w/ stock. I'm more worried about rubbing on the front with 245/45, 245/40 is basically the common fitment for stock and 1" drops.
