Lowering springs and wheels - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Carnewbee · 11-04-2015, 05:49 PM

Ok so want to put 17-9 on front and 17-10 on back and lower it with lowering springs giving it an inch drop. Question it will wheels fit, and will I need to get camber arms etc to fix camber or will it be fine as is after wheel alignment? Haven't played with suspension or anything before. Thanks

why do you want 10 wide in the back?

I know that 17x9 +38 will fit just fine lowered with a camber bolt up front.

or if you want to run 17x9 +42 with like a 3-5mm spacer would be fine too. But I do not know what would be good for a 10 wide.

Does anyone make a wheel in a 17x10?

Carnewbee · 11-04-2015, 05:57 PM

I just like the fat wheels behind. Yeap enkei rpf1 17x10 +18

Carnewbee · 11-04-2015, 05:59 PM

What about 17x8.5 +30 at front and 17x9.5 +18 at back? Need camber adjustment?

17x9.5 +18 would probably poke out. Try running a 17x9.5 +38

I think tires that wide are such a waste of $$$ but its yours so do what you will haha

Carnewbee · 11-04-2015, 06:10 PM

Ok just found a place with deal on 17x8.5+30 and 17x9.5+18 as a package. If I get the rear guards rolled would that sort poke or do I have to see if I can convince them to give me 9.5+ 38?

MisterSheep · 11-04-2015, 06:14 PM

Any possible chance I can confince you to go squared?

Carnewbee · 11-04-2015, 06:16 PM

Squared as in same all round?

MisterSheep · 11-04-2015, 06:18 PM

Yes. I know a 9.5 +38 fits all around.
