Need help. 2016 Scion FR-S wheels
Hello everyone.
So I have a 2016 Scion FR-S stock everything. And I just ordered in rims that are 18x9.5 +38 offset Tires that are 245 35 18 I did my research before I ordered these two items and all the resources I looked up said there shouldn’t be clearance issues. However I had them test fit the rims and there is BARELY any space what so ever Like 3mm maybe between the edge of the rim and the strut. What should I do? I purchased the rims from Fitment industries. I would really like to try and put them on but I’m trippin so hard and torn on a decision. |

The way I see it, you have 2 options:
1. Put them on and drive, if it rubs, put a small spacer in, maybe 3mm (Or do this for peace of mind anyway). 2. Get coilovers

So the stock suspension takes up a lot of space, coilovers use tighter wound springs, see how the aftermarket coils dont take up as much space as the stock? Plus, you can drop the ride height an inch or two which makes the car look phenomenal. You can get used coilovers for well under 1000usd. I got used fortune auto 500 for $750ish shipped

 But then I went with coilovers to allow me to run a 255 35 R18 setup.
