245/35 all around will be the safest option. I have the same size and offset and with 255/35 I rub a touch on the wheel liner up front. FWIW I'm thinking it may because KDW2s run wider than other brands of the same size. Check the thread below to see pics of what I'm talking about.

You'll clear fine with either size.

Not trying to be an ass because you obviously have a good knowledge on how wheels and tires fit. But I'm curious why think that when I have a thread showing otherwise?

HyJynx V 04-10-2009 12:15 PM

Anyone else running 255/35/19 on a similar set up care to chime in.
The thread pdxhak linked to leads on that the kdw2s he was (is) running are a bit "chunkier" than advertised. Im currently looking at Toyo T1Rs and was initially leaning towards the 255/35/19 since they are closer in measurements to the OE setup.

Ok so before I make the purchase 18x9.5 +30 with 275/35 tires on all corners will fit on tein-s tech springs. I am just really scared I have never bought rims for any car I have had.

Atilla 04-10-2009 12:52 PM

you will need a fender roll and possibly some camber work

streettuner08 04-10-2009 12:55 PM

Ok so fender roll and camber work in the front?

J8635621 04-10-2009 04:15 PM

All around lol.

I mean it's possible that you will rub the fender liner on the inside. You will be fine on the outside if you roll the fenders, but you will probably still rub the liner..

you must have misread the size, 8.5" +40 with a 255 tire will easily clear :squint:

FWIW, 255/40R-18 will easily fit on the stock 18x8.

I found this out because the place that I purchased my tires from ordered the wrong tires and placed the wrong sized tires on my stock wheels.

255/40R-18 sumitomo htrz-IIIs weigh 29lbs each!! Because of their mistake they gave me 235/40R-18 pricing on the 255s. I would like to say i'm mad because of how goofy they look (my dad thinks they look cool...but he's and old and used to old tires at 70+ series sidewalls), however, part of me is excited to see how much slower i am at the track...while being faster in the turns maybe!

pdxhak 04-10-2009 06:06 PM

The question is will 255/35/19 fit easily and not 255/40/18.

TopGear8 04-10-2009 06:17 PM

^Yes, it will.

I run 255/40-18 Hoosier DOT-R Wet Radials for rain tires when racing :dunno:

but that didn't seem to be the case in your reply chain :squint: :squint: :squint:

Team you are missing my first post.

Post #2070 HyJynx V asks question.

Post #2071 I say there may be an issue and provided a thread showing an actual setup that has a problem.

Post #2072 imput1234 says either will be fine.

Post #2073 I ask imput1234 why he thinks that when I just provided a thread there could be an issue with proof.

legendracer 04-10-2009 08:56 PM

Rarely post...does any know if these will fit?

http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...AdIdZ119651440

total rim/tire newb... i always ask about rim questions and i never seem to learn/remember anything of it haha..

Thanks!

legendracer 04-10-2009 09:01 PM

Also, whats the tire size range that will fit the stock rims?

will 245/45/18 fit the stock 18's?

Atilla 04-10-2009 09:06 PM

Legend: yes, those wheels will fit

and best to just stay within 245/40 - beyond that will kind of be impractical

legendracer 04-10-2009 10:31 PM

My question with the tires, is because im looking into buying second hand tires (broke right now)...

so 245/40 would be ok, but what about 245/45? would there be any problems with a slight bigger size there?

Atilla 04-10-2009 10:35 PM

hmmm...don't quote me on this - but seeing my current wheels gap on the stock 18's and my swift spring drop...45 sidewall will be kinda cutting it close...that's just IMO

WAR CRUNK 04-12-2009 06:41 AM

how about a 17x10 witha 35mm offset Would that be safly to run? i also never had bought wheels for anycar so im not to bright when it comes to them

WAR CRUNK 04-12-2009 07:02 AM

can i run 17x10+35 with 245/45 and be good to go?

WAR CRUNK 04-12-2009 07:54 AM

Hello friends! wheel torubles/clearing issues
 
:uhh: Hey guys its about time i saved up some money for some new set of wheels. Im intersted in 17x10 and mst chances will purchase the 17X10 5Zigen FN01r-Cs My issue is Im not sure if i'll be able to clear the front break! ETC! So if there is anyone outthere that can tell if a +35 mikemike offset will do? or if they will clear the breaks etc. Or ill just have to roll my fenders! anyhelp would be apreciated!:Peace:

WAR CRUNK 04-12-2009 08:29 AM

^sorry haha

TopGear8 04-12-2009 09:37 AM

^You will clear the front brake fine, and if you have a drop you might need a slight roll, depending on how much lower the car is.
