18x9 +40 with 265s stock suspension
Hey guys,
Long story short - LS Swapped FR-S, 8" wheels are too small. I have a tune scheduled for 6/7 so I found some wheels that are 18x9 +40 offset running 265/35/18s. The car is on stock suspension (for now), I am wondering if there is going to be any rubbing or clearance issues? I did run through the forum, but all of this is coming down the wire and I'd like to know before I run out of time lol. Thanks guys! |

Tires are probably going to rub the springs in the front.

Agree. I would get some camber plates to add to the stock shocks and get a 3-5mm spacer with extended studs.

I fit 255 RS4's on the front with the stock struts, camber plates, and camber bolts. I don't recall what my wheel offset was. I ran a 3mm spacer up front but none in the back. Not sure what tires OP plans to run but if they run as wide as RS4's I expect they'll poke past the fender by a little at least. |

17X9 +42 fit on stock struts. I dont see why an 18" wheel would make a difference. It would be very tight and you couldnt run any camber whatsoever.

17x9 +38 with 245’s had only about 6mm of clearance between the inside of the tire and spring on my car. Would rub the springs until they came up to temp/pressure.
