No pics. If you feel up inside the fenderwell it's obvious where you need to grind.

Sorry if I'm repeating this question but I did not see it answered.
Will 18x8.5 w/245 front & 18x9.5 w/265 work on the STOCK suspension with no rubbing/clearance issues?

Yes. This is my current set up on stock suspension. Running Hankook Ventus V12.

What is your front and rear camber?

How are you guys finding the handling of the car compared to stock? a lot of talk about under steer with staggered setup, if so is it bad

I have the same wheel setup with 245/35 front and 265/35 rear tires. I agree that there is a bit more push, but unless your driving close to the limit, I don't think you'll notice it.

I should mention that I haven't had an alignment done, so i'm expecting even less understeer when that's completed.

I have driven a little more aggressive on back roads, but that's it. On the street, if you are experiencing the understeer you are probably driving a little hotter than I would on public roads.

Anyone have the 18x9.5 all around set up on a silver / white 86??

Is camber needed for both rear and fronts? or just fronts? Scared the 9.5 might be too wide for the front.

New to tires but a local tire shop has RE760 tires 245/35/18 with a load index 88w for cheap. Will those work?? I noticed that the load index is lower than most tires. What troubles will I run into??

Not sure if you're looking to see 18x9.5 square on silver/white specifically, but within this thread there is at least 1 car (another color) running that size at all 4 corners.

Yeah, looking for a white or silver one specifically with black 9.5 all around. Theres a red, blue marine and a black one in this thread that have the 9.5 set up. Tried to photoshop them but can't get an accurate picture of what a silver one would look like, lowered with the matte black set up.

Hi guys really cant decide weather to go 8.5 square or 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the rear, I am lowering with coilovers but cant decide due to the fact I hear staggered setup affects handling and I defiantly don't wont that. Also I don't wont any rubbing or out like that any advice id love to hear. Also do bigger brake kits fit no worries with this offset. Thanks

go square, 4 of the same size all around. It preserves the neutral balance of the car, but it's only noticable really when you drive at a corner speed to where the tires start slipping so it really wouldn't be noticeable unless you are at a track. Rubbing will work itself out if you are low enough, just don't slam it and you will be fine. Big brake kits fit these wheels fine, look a few pages back there's a silver one with 9.5 I think with a BBK.

What do you all think about them?

Will I be able to fit this setup on stock suspension??


Thanks

I'm thinking about going 8.5 all around with 245's, any know clearance issues on the stock suspension? I've searched the forum but haven't seen this question asked.

Given that people are running much more aggressive set ups while lowered you won't have any issue.
