245 on a 9.5" is hardly a stretch

 

It makes it a lot easier to curb rash your wheels....

 

looks

 

245 shouldn't be much of a stretch on a 9.5 rim, but if you look at his pictures those tires are definitely stretched. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that those tires are narrower than 245 or that those wheels are wider than 9.5.

According to tirerack those tires have a 9.8" section width when measured on a 8.5 rim, tirerack says that for every 1/2" in wheel width you gain 0.2" in section width, putting these in the neighborhood of 10.2" on a 9.5" rim. Those rims are quite a bit wider than the tires, the numbers just don't add up.

 

And much much more!

 

I think it looks sick. Im thinking of doing close to the same thing but im gonna run 18x9.5 +25 Gullflame Gravity with 245. I was worried about fitmet but yours looks good. What suspension you on? I have stechs with my stock 40th bilsteins for now. Any rubbing?

 

ok I really should read before i post. I just look at pics then ask questions.... I hate reading.......haha

 

yep...9.5 should put at least 255...

 

I just got my Direzzas on too!!!

245/40/18 on 18x9.5 +35 wheels!!!!

A little strech...Direzzas run a little wider than indicated.

still have not fully played around with height....will probably lower about 1 inch during the week...or whatever I will be happy with.

here's how she looks:













No problems with clearance.

Man that looks sick! I like it all

 

i agree, they stick out too much...looks like a monster truck from the back. me no likey this fitment. wheels are nice tho. the silver 8 posted above seems to have much better umm...flush-ness (?)

 

I had a flat and wiped out a tire. The only one I could get in a hurry was the Dunlop Direzza. It was cheaper than the tires that came with the car. I couldn't car less what the tires look like, as long as they work. Has anyone had any problems with these?

 

they'll probably only last u like 10000 miles?

anyways on the stretch, leave it to drifters,

 

hey look it is rx8 hater posting on the fourm...

 

thank you!!

i like flush-ness

the Direzza star spec are wonderful

the other direzzas are ok
