Tire and Fitment question thread - stretch, offset, width, fenders, and more!

[evilchargerfan]

OK, so no +18! Thanks Subielove.

So what would give me the sickest looking fitment? +25 front and back? maybe a different offset for the front and rear? I know it needs to be
between mid +20's to low +30's but where? Is there a difference between front and rear for the perfect offset? I am going to be spending a
tidy sum to rebarrel these wheels and would like to be as spot on as possible with a little or more poke.
Thanks

pretty damn good fitment imo. and i think the tires are 245 35's

[Subielove]

Effectively et+31-32 on a 10.

what do you guys think about having way more poke in the front than rear? (more negative offset)

It is the ghey... Makes it look like somebody didn't know how to calculate offset

[SovereignSpoon]

Yes sir, those CCW's are nice, no doubt! I already bought a set of 3pc wheels. Evilcharger, you convinced me not to go with cheap wheels(Rotas) and I didn't.
I am going to have new barrels/lips made for 18x10 by Jline and what ever offset i want. So, I was kinda digging the whole cambered look so I didn't want to go too high on the offset. I also want to run 255's, how do I figure out what is the lowest offset I can run and still fit 255's? Is it even possible?
Thanks for all the advice guys, I would like to do this right to start with since this will be my first fitted car.

I like this very much but this is +18, could I pull this look off with 255's and maybe +23-25? Also should there be a difference between front and rear offset?

don't know how to get those pics off the post

I fancy running an 18x9.5 on my daily gc8 wrx, but I'm unsure of what offset will work best? I've ran a 17x9+30 on my gc8 sti and that was a good fit. I just fancy trying 18's and a little wider, the car is completely stock bodywork so any fender work is cool. I just don't want to run ridiculous camber and stretch, maybe like a 225/40?

Or do you guys think stick with 17s? I'm desperate to buy some wheels but just cannot make my mind up on size etc.

Also I forgot to add, I have some aero pieces in my garage waiting to go on, so it won't be running stock skirts/no lip etc. So my idea behind the 18s was that they may make the car look a little more aggressive along with the aero shit.

I have a 07 wrx on stock wheels and tires (I have a set 18x9.5 wheels in the mail) but I'm riding on bc racing extreme low coils and I noticed grease on the front wheels and I'm assumin it's the axles but I checked the strut bodies and made sure they aren't touching the boots. Any idea how this may have happened? I havent nailed any bad pot holes and the only road noise I hear is the axle notching the frame jus wondering how it happened

[CHiCKeN_NuGGeTS]

I finally took for a chance to check it out since I haven't been driving my car all the grease looks like it came from the back of the wheel bearings. Anybody ever have this issue? Maybe my car is too low?

[bryanatl]

I looked around and cant find any tips on 18x10 +20 SVN-R's. I have bc racing coils, camber bolts, rolled fenders. Would it be a huge pain in the ass to fit them? would i be able to run anything bigger than a 225... How much camber, etc. Thanks!

[grippymonkey]

go +30... its already gonna be a tight fit... and at least with +30 you have the option of changing up camber settings and tire sizes... you have no option really on what you run with a +20

that's if you are talking about subaru fitment...

Cracked boot?

I've done all the searching I could. A simple question, i hope. for a '96 Subaru Outback Sport
17x8 +20 on a 205/40/17...

My question is regarding the fenders, i know there will be little to no stretch, but would it just require a little fender rolling?

Hey all,
I've got some 17x8.5 +8 & 17x10 +15 wheels on the way for my e30. Will be getting BC coilovers and already have rear camber bolts to add extra camber. The car is a DD and does about 30-35miles a day and half of that would be at 60-65mph. I've been looking at options for tyres, I want something ok performance wise but hard wearing. It seems pretty hard to find good sized tyres in 17" diameter to suit. I'm thinking about running 205/40 on 8.5 and 215/40 on 10. I'd prefer 225/40 but can't find any tyres of that size local, same goes for 235/35. 245/35 Falkens are out there but expensive and not sure they will stretch enough? As such I was thinking of going for Federal SS595 as they should run wide. Do you guys reckon 205/40 & 215/40 SS595 would go ok on a daily basis? Thanks!

Hi guys, i need some help with spacers:

Looking to get a set of Work T1S for my G35 coupe. Fenders are rolled and i have bc racing coils:

Work T1S
19x9+25 front, tires = 225/35/19
19x10.5+30 rear, tires = 255/35/19

Planning on getting 25mm spacers for the front and 30mm for the rear. Will the wheels sit flush after the spacers or will it still tuck on a g35 coupe? Planning to go as low as i can on with the coils after putting the works on. I wanna figure this out before driving 3 hours away to pick them up. I live in Canada and can't find anyone that wants to ship me wheels (well none that i want) so i'm going to go thru trying to make these fit with spacers


Previous owner had :
Work Meister S1
19×9.5 +7 with 225/35R19 front
19×11 +7 with 265/30R19 rear

I want it looking something like that, hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance.
