So just to get a confirmation. the 255's should fit well once I have coils? Only reason I'm set on this size tire is bc ambit has a pretty good wheel and tire package. and for the wheels I want this is one of the size options. 265 is too big for what I would like and the 245 is a /40 and one of you already confirmed that would be too tall
Here are the other options below- 245/40/R18 255/35/R18 265/35/R18 Coils of choice - Tein Flex Z Planned Setup Wheel Ambit RE02 18x9.5 +38 Tire Federal RS-R 255/35/R18 |

Please forgive me, my math skills are rubbish. I’m running 17x8 +45 wheels with stock suspension. If I run a 12mm spacer, would I be “flush” or am I going to poke too much?

The phrase "Poke too much" is totally subjective. A 17x8 +45 with a 12mm spacer is essentially a +33 offset wheel. An 8" wide +35 offset wheel is generally considered flush. So your wheel will stick out 2mm more. Look at post #7. He has stock suspension with an 8" wide wheel and a+32 offset. Looks good to me. if you add camber bolts, it will help with the poke. they are very inexpensive. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25207

Tried out a set of 17x9 +45 rpf1s, and on full lock they hit the outer tie rod. No big suprise there its been documented a bunch on these forums, however 18x9.5 +38 seems to be a pretty popular size but only gives an extra 1mm more inner clearance. I have heard of people with the 17x9 +45 rpf1s running 3mm spacers and still not having enough clearance from the tie rod, so was curious why or how the 18x9.5 +38 didnt have any issues? Just the extra inch in diameter somehow move the wheel further away?

Hey guys I'm new here and a proud 86 owner
![]() Will this fit on STOCK suspensions(I'll get aftermarket suspensions later) without any issues? 18X8.75 +36 offset all around 225/40/18 tires all around I'm trying to keep my budget under 1k for the wheels and tires. I already have my eyes on a few options. Any recommendations or feedback are greatly appreciated! Thank you! |

Hey guys,
Just ordered a new set of wheels for my BRZ. Konig Ultraform 17x9 +40 Will I have any clearance issues with ~1" Lowering Springs, 5mm Spacers all around and 245/40/17 tires? I was also thinking of adding the Subaru Crash bolts in the front for Camber adjustment |

17x9 +40 with a 5mm space is essentially a +35 offset wheel. You shouldn't have strut clearance issues, and with camber bolts, you also shouldn't poke that much either. What tires are you getting?

The is is a test-fit of the same wheel (konig ultraform) and offset but 8" wide. I already have about 1.5 degrees of negative camber using Toyota crash bolts.

As for tires, I'm probably gonna go with Yokohama S.Drives or BFG G-Force Sport Comp-2's. Whichever one gives me the better rebate when Spring time rolls around |
