XXR 962s on FR-S - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

FR-Z STI · 01-31-2013, 12:52 PM

I have a question, I am thinking about buying XXR 962 rims. Im thinking about also doing it in a staggered set up and dont know too much about doing it. If I bought 17x7 fronts and 17x9 rear are we supposed to use the same tire size all four corners? Because my OEM tires are brand new and seems pointless to waste fresh tires, any idea if its okay/safe to stretch those on all four corners? A bit far fetched from 7" to 9" stretch but any advice is greatly appreciated.

Please no flaming

Thanks

Also anyone else running these rims please post pics please.

Too much stagger. Not sure on available sizes, but I'd keep it to 17x8 and 17x9.

If you want to stick with your OEM tires, then go 17x8 on all four corners. The point of going staggered (other than cosmetic) is to fit more tire on the back.

Would running the OEM 215/45/17s be alright to fit on XXR 527s in these sizes:
Front: 17x8.25 +35 and Rear: 17x9.75 +25

If im running +25 in the rear im assuming im going to need camber bolts correct? I will also be running on Fortune Auto 500 Coilovers.

yeah, you'll need to camber the rear @ 9.75 width and 25 offset

furthermore, the stretch on that size (stock 215) is ridiculous. If you really want that width it's best to go with another tire. 235 tire width minimum

edit: shit when I think about it, even 255 is pushing it

What about 17x7 all corners at 35mm offset. Would camber arms/bolts be necessary?
