Best tire fitment 18 x 9.5 +35
Hello,
Just wondering what might be the best fitment to fill in the wheel gap with TRD springs (1" drop) and 18x9.5+35 wheels. Currently on 245/35/18 tires but wheel gap seems little big and tires little stretched The current front setup has around half a finger gap before rubbing the suspension Would a 255/35/18 rub? Or a 245/40/18 do the trick? Or 235/40/18?... Not in a rush for tires, just getting advice for when my current tires need replacement Thank you Last edited by golemslord; 06-21-2020 at 12:18 PM. |

245 is consider stretched already for 9.5"? Any negative for this? I plan to run 245/35/18 or 245/40/18 (this change the speedo ratio a bit so I prefer first choice) |

Yes, i would recommend a 245/35 or 255/35 as your tire choices. I like keeping my tires close to OEM specs as well but its all just personal preference. |

What kind of tires are you running? I only had a few mm of clearance with the perch on 245/35s on stock suspension... Can't imagine 255/40 doesn't rub somewhere. Quote:
On coilovers 255/35 is ideal, 245/35 is fine though. |

I actually is looking into 57DR 18x9.5 +38, same as your profile pic, are you running 255? does it feel sluggish for such wide tire in square setup? Given our car has only 205hp ... I may get tein CSG or flex Z coilover.

Nah on coilovers it doesn't feel sluggish at all, just make sure to get a proper alignment and dial in your negative camber. The car feels more planted than stock but in a good way.

I've been looking into this as well, since the wheels I'm getting are the exact same specs (18x9.5 +35mm). But I'll be on coilovers so I was debating going 265/35R18 as I have read on this forum they can be done. But I think I am going to go 255/35R18 all the way around instead, to minimize fitment issues.
