Be careful with front tire size up front. (Inner clearance) 235 will fit, 245 will be close.

Can ya give me anymore info then that?

Am I gonna get anymore clearance in the front with 17x8+45 instead of 17x9+35, or is it not worth the hassle and shall I run 17x9+35 square?

wouldn't want +45 17x8's up front, can you get 17x8 +35 up front?

Tire rack only has the +45 offset so I'm not sure... with some more searching around I could probably find something

Yes. 3mm. However, 9" +35 sticks out 23mm more. A noticeable difference.

, or is it not worth the hassle and shall I run 17x9+35 square?

That is your riddle. Not mine. :-)

Different handling characteristics square to stagger. Plus tire rotations to consider.

Your choice, bro.

Yep, just limits your tire width. He didn't say it wouldn't fit. :-)

I would rather have a 8" +35 than a +45. But that's just me. (And JB lol)

What adjustment or changes is needed to make this fitment ok?

Scion FRS dropped by Tein S Springs - website states 1.3 for front / 1.1 for rear
Stock struts/ shocks
Enkie Kojin wheels 18 x 9.5 square set up.
Tires are Yokohama 255x35 18

I have read that spacers would be needed for the front end to clear the struts.
How much is needed to make this work ?

Side note : car is mainly for daily driving only.


Thanks in advance

You didn't specify what the offset is, but I'd say you'd probably need a net of +30 or lower. So just take your wheel offset and subtract 30 to get min spacer thickness needed.

If you're using camber bolts, these will change the distance to the perch. Using a bolt in the lower hole gives just a smidge more clearance as opposed to using the top hole. Probaby just a couple of mm, but that can make all the difference.

I'm going off of fitment of my 17x8s (+48) with 225. Tire is almost rubbing the perch, but with an 18, I think the rim itself will be in that area.

Where am I getting the +30 from?

These guys are running 18x9.5 +30 with 265s, originally this was on stock suspension and camber bolts in the lower holes, then they went to lowering springs (MachV ~1"). They said they had minimal rubbing, which I think was fixed with more negative camber.

i believe the offset is 45 , thanks again

Yes. (Please read back through this thread, this fitment has been discussed a number of times as to how it clears, but just. This is my current setup as well)
