Someone who is good with wheel figment please tell me if this would fit?
Currently running eibach springs on stock struts (drops about an inch).
Was wondering if I got 18x9.5 +35 offset with some 235 on the front and 245 rears would fit without rubbing issues? Can someone recommend me a good setup since I am kind of stuck with the 18x9.5 +35 wheels since I already bought them. Maybe I need coils? Thank you, Anthony

I can't help you with whether or not they will fit correctly but If you are going to run 4 18x9.5 wheels why not just run all 245s or all 235s? It would make tire rotations a lot easier and the car was designed with a square setup from the factory. 245/35/18 is very close to the overall diameter of the stock 215/45/17 so you won't have a significant difference on your speedometer vs actual speed.
Also check out the wheels/tires sub section. People on there will be much more knowledgeable and there should also be a "will it fit" calculator

I'd go down to a 225. Thats what I'm using on 9.5 +30 and at -1 deg rear camber I'm damn close to rubbing.

I used to have a staggered setup with the front running 18x8.5 +33 wearing 235/40/18 and I didn't rub. You've got an extra inch of wheel that'll pull the tire closer to the strut and a less aggressive offset. My recommendation for you would be to bite the bullet and get some good coilovers. Then run 245 or 255 width tires in a square setup on those wheels and enjoy.

You would fit nicely with a 235 in the rear.

Read page one.
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41083 Most members that run 9.5 wide wheels have coilovers to fit properly in the front. The thread explains things better. I would rate it top ten on the forum. |

Will probably need coils. I would also suggest at least 245s, as 235s are quite stretched on 9.5s - unless that's what you were going for.

You're going to need coils, the wheel won't clear the stock strut. Besides that I would go with a 235, should get a nice stretch and will still look and perform well.
