[QUOTE=ill86;627575]A fine selection.

Thanks for the input. So with that set up, 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 +45, I can run them with the stock suspension with no problems (rub)? And how will it line up, I'm not wanting any poke.

i run 18x8.5 +30 rear, +42 front with 215/40 with some camber, my ride height is pretty low.

i have really grown to enjoy driving my setup, i like the tail happiness of a stiffer / lower ride setup. will only get better with a better alignment, rear control arms and toe arms are on my list next.

Should be spot on.

With a little camber front and rear it will most likely be what you are after. Only gets better with age. :-)

Too many other factors (actual tire width, alignment, etc) to be more precise. There's a little wiggle room, but you're still playing it safe/conservative.

Hi all,
I have purchased some 18 x 9.5 +35 rims and looking to fit very shortly -
I have also got some Eibach Pro Kit springs ready to go for a (hopefully) 1 inch drop all round....
Just wondering on tire sizes which would be suitable to clear guards/fender etc with no rubbing?
I have seen a few setups which have coils and thus clear, but not so sure on springs, thats all...
From reading up, my guess is 235/40/18 all round to be ok,, but just trying to double check before I go ahead!

In my state tto stay legal , your total wheel diameter cannot go increasing by more than 26mm from standard, so the above tire size is what fits the bill here,,,

Many thanks!

That's a difficult front fitment. Going over fender kit? Lots of negative camber?

Suspension: Tein S-Tech or Eibach Sportlines
Front: 18x8.5 +45, 235/40
Rear: 18x9.5 +45, 265/35

Thoughts on fitment?

Fitment is good.

Dunlop Wintersport 3Ds, 235/45 17". The stock wheels are 17" but the stock tires are 215/45 17".

Yes they will. Wrong section btw

Dunlop specs 7.5-9.0" wheels, so in theory the OEM wheels are too narrow.

A better question for the OP is why go wider for winter tires? You want narrower, not wider. 235s on a 7" wheel will be very hard to mount (tire guy may refuse) and will ballon like a mofo.

Make me a mod please!! Lol

white_knight · 12-29-2012, 01:32 AM

Hey Guys,

I'm thinking of going for a staggered setup on my 86 (tyres only, not wheels).

The rims I like are 18/8.75/35+ (front/rear). I'm getting 235s for the fronts and just want to know how wide I can go for the rear?

Thanks.

RedFRZ · 12-29-2012, 06:17 AM

depends on how far you're willing to go to make it fit.

You should specify if you want to keep the fenders as they are, or roll them and if you're on stock suspension / springs / coils

white_knight · 12-29-2012, 07:50 AM

Prefer not to touch the fenders. Just want to know how much tyre you can fit in the arch as per stock. I should add that I'm also looking to drop about 1".
