Wheel and tire size fitment question before I pull the trigger
I’m interested in a set of 18x9.5 +45 with 245/35/18 tires. Will these fit on my BRZ with 1.5” lowered without any issues? Will the alignment specs fall at least close to the factory numbers without any alignment tools?

Talking completely off the top of my head but I'm around 80% sure you'll have issues in the front with rubbing. If you don't it will be by a hair's breadth.

If this is what you want, then you can make them fit. And, depending on alignment and drop you may need a few other suspension parts like LCA, adjustable toe, end links etc. But, with your wheel and tire choices, Budget is probably not a serious issue.

It wouldn't fit on stock diameter springs, but I think it'll clear on coilovers. Might rub at full lock on either the LCA or inner fender liner up front though.

I rub the fender liner with 245/40/17 on 17X9 +38. Also looks it touches the sway bar at full lock a little. I am almost -1.75 dropped over stock with -3 camber.

The potential places it'll rub are inside the wheel well, either the LCA, sway bar or inner fender liner. Your wheels are 7mm further outboard because of the lower offset.

your also running a 9 inch wheel so a 38 offset on a 9 inch is not the same as a 9.5 +38

correct but a 245/35 is a very conservative option and i know plenty of people running 45 offset with 245/35 no issues at all. I was originally getting wheels that was 9.5 +45 but wouldnt fit over my brakes. I dont think he will run into any rubbing issues and i would hit the fender liner before him but sway could be in question. if has adjustable swaybar endlinks he can manipulate the sway bar some in his favor.
