2. 17x8 et45 225/45/17

in this setup is it just representing 1. is more flush and 2 is more tuck in? why do people prefer 35 over 45.

I don't know what tires to get yet, but I won't have LCAs or anything, not for awhile.. There would be natural camber right?

Too much poke. Tire will rub on the fender.
Try to get something closer to a +35 or +40.

Yes, +45 is more inboard while a +35 pushes it out 10mm.

+35 works well in most instances, whether stock, springs or coilovers.
+45 will be tighter to the spring perch but will work on stock or coilover applications.

I recommend the +35 setup.

But isn't it +35 front will be a bit poke on the front?

Nope, not with a 17x8 wheel, even stock.

I have some 17 x 7.5 +43 Rays CE28n. Im considering putting track rubber on and not using any spacers........but Im also considering setting them up as my daily wheels with some spacer.

The car is dropped about 1.5 to 2 inches on coil overs.

Running a 20mm front and a 25mm rear spacer will give me effective offset of +23 front and +18 rear.

Tyres will either be the stock Michelins 215/45 or I will get some 225/45.

So will 17x7.5+23 F and 17x7.5+18 R fit?

Thanks

So I am looking at running one of these options:
RPF1 - 18x9.5 +38 (square setup)
NT03 - (same as above)
Work Meister - 18x9et35 and 18x9.5et35 5x100 (currently in FS thread)

I'll be running TRD lowering springs on my suspension setup (that is the only modification).
My question is, I have seen these setups on other cars, but they are all lowered, control arms, camber, etc. (which I would do eventually). But running on just the lowering springs, would I poke a lot? Would I need spacers? Basically, would this work for me without the coilovers, and camber, and all that, or would it just poke a lot, or look god awful?

Hey guys, looking at getting tires and rims in the Spring. I've tried to use the calculators to see what will work/work well. Here the important information:

Enkei Raijin - 18" x 8.5"
Pirelli P-Zero System - 235/35 18R
+35mm Off-set

I also plan on grabbing a set of RS-R Black-i coil (~1" lowered) overs. Should this all fit without issue?

Hey all.
Looking into getting some new wheels and tyres. Will probably have to go coil overs.
I don't know too much about fitment so would love feedback.
Thinking of the following:
XXR 530 - 18" x 8.75"
Bridgestone potenza RE003's - 235/40 18R
+33mm off-set

Looking at picking up some Shockworks coil overs ( Aussie brand).

How bad would the poke be?
Cheers

Hey guys,
Hoping to get confirmation this setup will fit:

XXR 527 18x8.75 5-100/5-114.3 [+35mm]
245/40 18R

Not sure if it's relevant, but my car is also lowered ~1.4 inches.

I also wanted to know the difference between 245/40 and 255/40 tires. I'm not sure how width will affect the tires being mounted. According to the calculator both look like they fit but maybe someone can clarify for me since I'd rather have 245/40 but I don't want there to be any issues getting it mounted.

Thanks!
