Rays 57xtreme Wheels 18 x 8.5 vs 9.5 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hi, wanted know whats the pro vs. con of getting these wheels in 18'' x 8.5 vs 9.5 width? i.e. Will the 9.5'' give the rims more of a concave look (which is my preference)? increase/decrease performance, handling, etc.? Or if anyone had pictures to show the difference in looks?

Car is turbo, stock suspension but will upgrade to coilovers later, lip kit and no widebody.

If you want the concave Go 9.5's just got mine on the car they look amazing. You will not be disappointed. My car does not run a wide body kit and I have 0 clearance issues on 265/35 size tires (coilovers have been installed however) being lowered 1.25" front & rear.

Planning wear out stock suspension, would there be any fit problems with 18 x 9.5 wheels, which probably points to having to ask the next question: what tire size will fit? Noob at tires. 255/35, 265/35, etc?

I want the tires to completely cover the wheels (width wise), so i'm understanding a 255/ wouldn't cover the wheels as much as a 265/? but then wider tires might be too wide with stock suspension?

Have you searched through the wheel directory threads for these wheels ? They have a lot of information regarding fitment in that aspect, I myself used it as a guide and have no issues. If you are also considering running bigger tires I would recomend you to check out the Meaty Tire thread.
