WedsSports SA-20r 18x9.5 +45 wrapped in Sumitomo HR ZIII 265/35

TurboLag23 · 05-29-2018, 12:16 PM

Hey everyone! Quick fitment question, as I have not been able to find this exact setup so far...

I am considering running an 18x9.5 +38 with a 245/35R18 or 255/35R18 all-around. Suspension-wise, I am a 100% stock Performance Package car.

Will I run into any fitment issues, and if so what will they be?

Thanks in advance!

I ran 18x9.5 +38 with 245/35R18 (not sure if 255's would fit on the front?) on all four corners for a few years on 100% stock suspension. No problems. No rubbing what-so-ever. Those tires look narrow for a 9.5 wheel, although some people like the stretch look. And the front poke some.

265’s fit for me all around with the same wheel specs (RPF1’s), I’m running -3 camber in front and I believe -2 in the rear. 255’s would be a better fit though

Edit: nvm this is for stock suspension. I can’t read :l

18x9.5 +38 will clear stock with a 245 tire performance package or not. 255 will not for sure.

245 should clear but in my opinion but 245 do not give a very clean look because of the decent amount of stretch on the tire plus their will be wheel gap for days. Stretched tires only look good with proper fitment but this is all my opinion. You could probably lay in the wheel gap tbh but i think lowering springs are a nice cheaper option if you do not want to spend the money on coilovers.

Depending on the maufactuer, 245 series tires can run wider/skinnier, theres no black and white line 245 will %100 fit and 255 %100 will not.

He meant Performance package "PP", relating to fitment that package comes with brembos and Sachs dampers, which might have a smaller spring perch? Common rub point in the front is on the oem spring perch
