Will this fit? (width, offset and tire size Qs) - Page 167 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Have been looking into a set of Konig Oversteer. They are available in 18x8J and 18x9J. according to carid the 9J won't fit the twins as the tyre sizes available are only 255/35/18's. I'd just like to know anyone else's opinions on this? As far as a I can see they are a 42 offset. If I could get away with 255's I would as I assume the grip would be pretty good. Much better than the 225's available from carid for the 8J setup.

I ordered a set of 17x8 +32. I have stock suspension but plan on getting ST coilovers. I was thinking of going with 235/45 to keep my turn in response, but after reading through this I am thinking 245/40 will be better. Will I have any issues with 245? And is that too much tire if I stay NA for the time being?

245 work on 8" wheels and well look good. If you primarly want to drift then 245 are not ideal, but for grip or daily drive 245 are a good choice. you wont feel a big difference in acceleration if thats what you're concerned about

Front: 225/40-18 wrapped on Works Kiwami 18x8.5 +38
Rear: 245/35-18 wrapped on Works Kiwami 18x9.5 +38

Will this fit at stock ride height? How do you guys think it will look? And also how it will perform.

Thanks for the info Killerbee. Do you know if 245 with +32 will rub?

Simon99 · 05-04-2014, 05:33 AM

Interested in some RPF1.
Front 18x8+45 235/35/18
Rear 18x8+45 245/35/18

Or simply a square 245/35/18 if recommended.

On a 0.6 drop. Any possible issues ?

that setup will fit good. it may poke 5-10mm in front depending on the tire brand, but it will not rub

I'd recommend 245/35/18 square. you can rotate tires that way and also have the same diameter on both wheels front/rear.

setup itself is good and will fit and look good

I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but I'm gonna ask anyway

Have 18x8.5 +38 ready to go on once tires get here, tires are federal rsr 245/35/18.. they run about 10mm wider so theyll end up being almost a 255. doing a square setup with ST coilovers.

will they fit? lmao

Yes, but depending on your cambet settings they will poke a bit in the front

dabocx · 05-05-2014, 10:06 PM

Thinking of getting Work meister S1r, was going to get 18X9.5 +37 in the front with the big brake face, however im a little lost on the rear. I could get the 18X9.5 +37 in the rear with the deep dish face but is there another option to get something with more lip that will still fit 265s/275s in the rear? Maybe 18X10?

Hey guys, I'm wanting to know if I get 18x8.5 +38 w/245/35 tires square would that fit at stock ride height? I'm also looking at down the road a little bit more to drop 1 inch so would I still clear? I played with the tire calculator and it appears I should be good but i'm wanting to double check that I'm not looking at it wrong. I'm wanting to get kinda close to flush, a little off is ok, so any suggestions on moving my offset even after a 1 inch drop? Thanks in advance for your guys assistance
