i've tried looking onto the forums for the answer. currently im on tanabe gf 210 springs and just recently bought 18x9 rims. im curious as to whats the biggest size i can fit without any rubbing issues. im sure its been answered just having a difficult time finding the answer. thanks

Depends on offset. You can easily run a 245/40R18 but might rub slightly on the fender lining in the front. A 255/35R18 wont rub up front but could slightly in the rear unless you roll/shave the fenders or camber the wheels in (this is not an option with stock suspension and GF-210s). I have GF-210s and plan to run 255/35/18s personally. I then plan to lower the car a tad more with coilovers and shaved/rewelded rear fenders, but that's just me.

these are on 30 offset. okay so a 255/35/18 work okay in front but might rub in the back unless i roll the fenders right?

anyone else have any experiences with the tanabe springs. I'd like to use a nice sized tire for drag

TURbev08 summed it up perfectly for you. i have 18x9+29 rims with 245/40/18 tires tanabe gf210 springs and rub up front on full lock of the steering wheel. with the tanabe spings, running a 255/35/18 tire you will most likely rub in the back. with a 245/40/18 you will most likely rub when you fully lock your steering wheel left or right.

it all depends on the overall diameter/width of the particular tire you decide on ( a 255/35/18 falken will have a different diameter, width, shoulder shape, than a 255/35/18 perelli). the amount of camber you run will also effect whether you rub or not

whats the drop on the tanabes. reason being i just ordered 18x9 +30 and i have 245/35/18s comin on them. in the market for springs too and i dont want any issues so i may have to go with something with less of a drop than tanabe if you guys are getting rubbing. basicly i wanna hear from someone who runs 18x9 +30 and has no rubbing what springs you use.

EvilAWD

according to what is being said. im sure you should be okay if you dropped them on tanabe springs. i believe its a 1.8" drop in front and .9 " in the back.

i was really looking forward to running the falken azenis rt-615 but they only come in 255/40/18. anyone use these tires and what rubbing do you have?

in a few ads i have read the drop is actually less. its 1.5 front and 1 rear so im thinking it should be alright. i just went through the tire business evil. i wanted some azenis but didnt come in the size i wanted. i found that very few tires come in 245/35/18 unless you wanna spend 250 per tire. i went with toyo t1r 245/35/18 ill let you know how they are.

EvilAWD

ive been told falken azenis are a pretty good tire for track. if not azenis what other tire would be good to use for drag racing? im a little confused with what tire to go with

dont try to run 255/40/18, youll have all kind of rubbing. the 245/35/18 should be a good size
