PF-racing - yes, with rolled fenders - depending on tire profile as well.

Rival: Yes, you'll fit fine.

How wide can I go with the tires? Will 275/35 fit?

What tires can i go widest with? i am planning on switching im running on 225 front and 235 back. i was planning on putting my 235 up front and since my treads are almost gone up front change them but what can i get? is 235 front and 255 back good? will it rub? i want to run a setup so later on i can get a fat offset and make my car look flush

Atilla 05-13-2009 12:02 PM

not a good idea to run staggered tires on the OEM wheels.

dhan 05-14-2009 02:34 AM

^if i were to get aftermarket rims?

cjkim 05-15-2009 01:40 AM

soo i've got a question

I'm currently running:
18x8.5 +38 on 225/40, dropped with about 13.25 inches from center of wheel to ground (1.2-1.5ish drop, don't know what stock was)
Fitment is okay, however I'm starting to think about spacers.
I'm running a fair amount of camber (-1.3f, -1.8r) so it's not as flush as some of the other pictures of the same setup.

Any recommendations on the correct spacer setup without a need for a roll? I rarely carry more than one passenger, so rubbing with a full car is not an issue

I was thinking 10mm up front, 15mm or 20mm in the rear... comments?

and semi off topic question:
Here are my wheels:
https://www.1010tires.com/images/whe..._silver_lg.jpg
I'm thinking a 10mm and 15mm spacer with its own studs normally wouldn't clear most rims (since the studs the spacers attach to might be too long without shaving)... however, i see a lot of 5zigens have 10 holes. are those extra 5 (obviously not for mounting) for spacer compatibility?

Just go to an offset calculator and try to copy 9.5 +34ish in the rear (if you have rolled fenders +38ish if not) and 8.5 +30ish (a 10 mm would be fine though) in the front. That should look better and fit fine.

yeah, it's how i figured 10/15 or 20mm..
just wondering if anyone would chime in saying i can go even lower without a roll.

OK:

FN01R-C
17x10 +35 with 275/30/17

Will have:
-S-techs
-D-Specs (full stiff)

fenders have not been rolled yet

I know +25 has run into problems, but what about +35?

J8635621 05-15-2009 09:55 AM

I'm guessing you said 275/30/17 on purpose instead of 275/40/17? I'm willing to bet you will have to roll the fenders but it will work out in the end. I'm pretty sure a couple people in the 5zigen thread ran that set up btw.

Thanks. I meant 275/40/17 :)

No one is running 275's on those yet.

Ross_Dawg 05-16-2009 11:38 AM

Huh... guess it's 17x9's :anger:

tiltmode43 05-18-2009 08:13 PM

Atilla 05-19-2009 12:03 AM

at stock height you'll be ok. Once you're lowered you will need a lot of work.

i knew a friend that put some rims on his car which were fine.. but only when he was in it alone.. would that probably be the same case for me? i have sport suspension and it is pretty stiff though..

dannobre 05-19-2009 12:59 AM

You need at least a +35 offset for a 9.5" wheel....+38-40 would be better

^Unless you're this guy - in which case, you'll still need some work to make sure they fit that well :D:

final check on offset
 
I'm doing a final check on the offset before I put in my order, I'm more concern on the offset for the rear without rolling when car is loading with passengers and audio equipments. Originally I have picked +42 for the rear but I'm having 2nd thought. I think front is ok and it is the lowest offset they have.

For the tire, is 255/35/19 too wide for the front? I don't want any heavy feeling during turn or make the steering feel heavier.

F - 19x8.5 +35 (255/35/19)
R - 19x9.5 +35 or +42 or +45 (255/35/19)

Atilla 05-19-2009 09:52 PM

IMO - stick with 245's for the front.

the rears are fine at +35 w/255 tires.
