Thanks for your help! So I wouldn't notice any performance or handling differences between these tires that are only slightly different in size?

Sounds like my only option is to get coilovers or run 245 tires then. I guess I might as well run coilovers since the Toyo Tires I'm getting with are very good already. |

Slightly different can actually improve performance and handling as long as you can get a lighter than stock wheel and a 225 tire. You would be reducing weight and increasing grip. |

Alright cool. I'll look into running 5mm spacers for the time being since it's very minimal.
Thanks! Will handling be affected if I just had 5MM spacers to the front and not the rear? From what I heard, the back clears just fine. Otherwise coilovers first to me. This is pretty much the last peace of mind I need. |

I agree with @Vital. Adding a 5mm spacer, that needs extended studs, adds cost and labor. And, with out any room to add negative camber, it will poke 5mm more. A 3mm would be better, if it is needed. A 18x9.5 +32 = 17x7 +0 offset. This is setup (18x9.5 +32) will poke like a stock wheel with a 64mm spacer. if a 30mm spacer is needed to make a stock wheel flush in the front, then your new wheel will poke 34mm. I would just get a 245/35/18 front tire for your +35 offset 18x9.5 wheels. YOu can run a 255/35 in the rear. This small stagger won't change your cars feel that much at all. Then, later, after you get coils, you can add a bunch of negative camber, and matching front tires. Or get coils first, it is something to contemplate...

Got some 18x9.5 +35 wheels. What is the widest tire I can run? I have coilovers with adjustable camber in the front and rear. I wouldn't mind running a meatier 40 tire vs a 35 too. But if I need to run a 35 too be able to squeeze a 255 in there that's fine.
Should I get the fenders rolled regardless with a 9.5 wide wheel? Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk |

Any need to roll the fender with that 255/35 ? I guess I just think about a 40 tire providing a little more protection from harsh road conditions, potholes etc

No i dont think you need to roll fenders for that spec wheel. That size has become pretty common these days. Although it will depend on how low you are though...

Turns out the tires I got were bad sadly. Two were torn.
I'm on stock suspension as before but. Does 245/35/18 Nankang NS-25 rub with 18x9.5 wheels on stock suspension? I keep hearing different answers about it. Option Lab R716s. |

Will 17 x8.5 +30 fit on stock suspension? I know it'll poke a bit, but I want to ensure before pulling the trigger on a purchase.
If it does, what tire sizes would you recommend to limit any potential for rubbing? Last edited by equachie; 01-17-2020 at 01:33 PM. Reason: Additional question |
