I would read through page 1 of this thread to start with. Tons of great info.

Quoted from page 1.
"1) Most of us run a coilover, you really won't fit a 9.5 wheel up front with stock struts"

Good luck!

Jive Turkey · 12-08-2016, 07:19 PM

yeah a 9.5 up front on stock struts just won't work.

255/35-265/35 those are the tire sizes to consider...

Thanks!

Haha. So Mark @RavSpec had to stop me 3 times to confirm I knew what I was ordering. They keep insisting my offsets are too high and conservative. 18x9+47 R disk / 18x10+50 A disk.

Ill be buying 265/35 and 285/35 respectively and dont want to roll fenders on a 1.5-2.0" drop and -0.5F/0.0R camber.

Crossing my fingers I havent made a HUGE mistake. I guess we'll see in 12-15 weeks when they get here. Ill post pics as soon as they get mounted. #turbocarfitment

You might rub on the inner side of the fender liners in the front a little bit at close to full lock and hard turns. I have 19x9.5+43 with 265/30/19 which is pretty close to your setup and it rubs inside (as well as the fender itself

). Depends how low you are as well.

You'll likely rub on the inside. Likely the brake line brackets and possibly your coils. You have coils right.?

Yeah, I posted pictures on pg145. Im running Ohlins and measured how much room I had to play with before ordering. I should have plenty of room... Ill move the brake line brackets if they get in the way but I doubt they will. Only concern right now is full lock rubbing. Ill post results!

You have to wait HOW LONG for wheels? 😱

Yeah, I know... the only thing they have in stock is the 18x9.5+38. So they are being built to my specification request. Doesnt cost anymore to do it that way, just takes 3-4 months to get them custom wheels in mah hands.

I got mine after around 12 weeks from WORK custom made

Thanks for the help.
still new to the site.

To anyone else running 265/35/18 in the rear, what are your alignment specs? I'm sitting on factory settings now after getting new wheels and was having rubbing issues with the tire sidewall actually hitting the fender. I took the car in for a realignment and they said they couldn't add any more rear camber without rubbing the inside??

I'm only lowered about 3/4" in the rear, something sounds fishy.

FaDuck · 12-20-2016, 12:20 PM

My plan is to go with 265's as well, and from what Ive gathered on this site, as long as you have coilovers/atleast a +40 offset/and -2 degrees camber, you should be fine. Hmmm...
