Hey guys I got st coils on my car yesterday and I'm planning on putting the new wheels sometime this weekend. I'll be running 18x8.5 in the front +38 and 18x9.5 +25 in the rear (massive change in offset I know, but the wheels I have are discontinued and darn near impossible to find that match
.. They're XXR 522) anywho, what tires sizes would you recommend I go with? I was thinking 225/40/18 in the front and 245/40/18 in the rear. Will that work or should I go with a different size? Also will I need to roll my rear fenders since the wheels will be coming out more? Or will I be Okay? Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk |

If so, you're probably best off with 17x9 or 18x9 wheels at the widest to not poke, maybe even an 8"-8.5" wheel if staying stock height. The concave face is unfortunately hard to find in less wide wheels, which is why I went ahead with the 18x9.5 square setup. I never could find info on the face of the 17x9 Kojin wheel. If that's concave then that may be your best bet (and would still look really good). |

I'm a newbie when it comes to wheels. As far as size of wheels, offset and such how big can I go without having to upgrade suspension? Gonna keep stock suspension for now. Can I go 17x9 or even 18x8? I'd appreciate some advice. Thanks in advance.

Ok... So I've got a 2017 on TRD lowering springs. I'm planning 17x9 245/40 for the wheels/tires and I want to be flush in the back with a square setup so I know that I'm going to have a bit of poke in the front but what kind of offset do I need to be looking for +35? +38?

Hi,
I am looking at 17" 8.5 wheels. They come in +32 or +42 offset. I am aiming to go 1" lower on coilovers. Looking at the flush offset guide, this suggests I should choose +42 for the front and +32 for the rear. What I don't quite know is whether a different offset front and back will make the handling worse? I want the handling to remain unaffected, so should I just go for +42 for both front and rear? OR....would a different offset actually make handling better? Sorry to be a noob. |

Pretty sure I've decided on 17x8 +35 OZ Ultraleggera wheels (black) wrapped in 225/45/R17 Michelin Pilot Super Sports for my 2017 BRZ Limited PP. Will these be an okay choice and clear my Brembos just fine? Want to make sure I'm not overlooking anything before dropping $1,700.

Go from your TE37SL Setup, if you liked it, go for the +37 offset as originally posted. Those 2/3mm will not be noticable once fitted to the car. if you did not like the TE37SL fitting, go fromt here, so if it poked to much, get a higher offset, if it was sunk in, get a lower offset

I have no experience with the Brembos, however I'm pretty sure it will be no issues with this size

Looking to make my first wheel and tire purchase and I was wondering if you guys could help me out to see if this would fit. Currently lowered on Tein Flex Z coilovers.
Wheels I'm looking to get are 18x9.5 +34 offset. Planning on wrapping them in 245/35/18 Federal 595RSR-R. I'm looking to get a meaty fitment that's flush with the fenders but don't want to deal with the hassle of rubbing. I've also heard that the RSRR's run wider than normal tires. Any opinions?
