suspension and fender mods?

VarneyMazda 03-24-2011 12:48 PM

Lowered prolly 1 inch maybe a little more on coils. No fender rolling or anything yet

J8635621 03-24-2011 12:51 PM

9.5 +22 is suited more for 245s and the +33 is more for 265s (all around btw). Lower the car, the better it will look.

so should I go +22 in the front and +33 in the rear?

I was hoping to use my tires because they are brand new. :(

If you base multi-thousand dollar decisions on a few hundred dollars then go for it. Fenders will need rolled also.

good point. SO +22 will work all the way around but i need to run 245 on all corners.

The sizes are staggered so wont a 245 on a 9.5 wheel be quite a stretch?

I don't understand the bold part but here is a picture of 245/40/18 Nitto Invos on 9.5" wheels.

The amount of stretch will ultimately depend on the actual width of the tire which is different between manufacturers/models of tire, and it will be a little different with 19s since the sidewall isn't as tall.

This is why many people get confused. When you post, post your wheel specs, tire specs, what you are lowered on, and what you are willing to do to make them fit.

We should have another thread just for wheels that will fit without fender modifications. Then the answers can be a simple yes or no and then suggestion can be given for what will fit without fender mods. Just my thoughts.

Seems like a smart idea but will it catch on? And yeah I'm getting a new set of rims and tires but I don't want to have to roll my fenders or anything so I'm just looking for what'll work on the 2009 R3s.

J8635621 03-25-2011 10:12 PM

There has been a committee and we discussed many options. It has been determined that it doesn't matter how easy we make it, there will be stupid questions forever so there is no reason to make multiple threads. It is best to try and contain it all in one place.

tiltmode43 03-25-2011 11:40 PM

One thread is enough - if you do your research/homework, you should be able to determine. If not, post up and your questions will be answered.

Indeed, there is a difference between what "will" fit and what "can" fit :lol:

Okay so I am standing right in front of some SEXY ccw classic rims with tires for $1500! if you guys know these rims this is a steal! Will they fit? They look very wide but why not try. I don't know the offset but The front tires are 315/30/18 and the rear are 335/35/17. Fender rolling pulling? Will they fit!?

J8635621 03-26-2011 01:57 PM

That's exactly what I'm talking about. EXACTLY. Could there be less important information in that? Not really.

rx 8speciale 03-26-2011 02:29 PM

no !!!! the tyres dont fit theyre to wide.............troll?

kondypl 03-26-2011 03:07 PM

Will I fit 245s tires on stock rims (rear)

813dannykoofey 03-26-2011 03:21 PM

Are the wheels 18x7 +88 ? 18x14.5 -35? Information would help. Regardless, 300's won't fit.

Also I'm asking because I need new tires soon , because I'm running winters and I.m not decided on the rims yet , I'm in between XXR 522 or XXR 006 , rear wheels are 9.5 and I'm going to need wider tires , so would 245's fit stocks??

Ross_Dawg 03-27-2011 12:10 PM

Yes.

kondypl 03-27-2011 05:27 PM

Does it give any advantage to run those? what 245 really means? How wide tire is?

Ross_Dawg 03-27-2011 05:59 PM

A wider tire = more contact to the road = better cornering. 245 = 245mm wide.

Thank You very much!!

birtch3 03-28-2011 05:24 PM

hey guys, sorry if im being stupid or not doing this properly, but i'm in need of information QUICK.

I have an 04 6 speed. im looking at a set of rims right now that i can only get in 18x9.5 +40 offset. will these fit on stock suspension with out any modifications needing to be done? also will they fit with coil overs (HSD) as i am going to be purchasing them soon. lastly what tires would be recommended with them that will require no modifications to wheel wells or fenders.
