Tire Size Recommendation!
My buddy owns an frs and bought 18x9.5+35 rims. He is lowered about 2.2-2.5 inches on bc extreme lows. Anyone have a recommended tire size?

To each his own. There is no one-size fits all. Some go wider & lower profile, some even for smaller 16" and stock-ish thread widths/sizes. Some care about flushiness with fenders and play with spacers & offset, some care more about scrub radius & bearing longitivity and leave as is. If it's for him, not for you (and just mentioning him as example), he should install whatever he prefers/wishes more. Be it some narrower stretched tire, be it some wider one, be it whatever is closer to stock diameter to not throw off speedo readings much.

That low, with that amount of poke, he'll likely need camber (lots) or stretched tires (<245) or both to avoid rubbing. Just my 2 cents

Im maxed out (isc coilovers) on 18x9.5 et38 with 225/40's. No rubbing at all untill i put 20mm spacers on the back for better fitment and now i rub a little but thats only in the back
Bottom line is he wont rub on 225's with no spacers |
