Tire / Wheel Fitment Questions
#2731
I'm thinking about this same setup(18 x 9.5 +20) on my ix. i'm on swift spec-r/mr bilsteins and debating whether to get 245/40 or 255/40s. is this pushing it? what camber do I need to run after i get these on?

+20 is one of the most extreme offsets that is doable providing the proper rear fender treatment is done (roll,pull & bumper bolt)
IMO, the 255 is not that much more difficult to fit than the 245
I dont recommend running out of spec camber to fit the W/T pkg, so this opinion is based on stockish camber

Ran your no.s through the calc

So I've already determined that my Advan RG-D in 18 x 9 +35 will clear calipers. Curious on recommendations for tires on an 03 evo 8. No fender roll or anything yet. 255/265? What would be needed? Also the beefer the tire the better. Have considered 255/265, 35/40 , 18 but curious on feedback. I have no intention of "slamming my car" by any means. A mild drop at most an inch or so when coilovers go on the car. Currently on factory suspension.
Thanks for the feedback in advance

How big of a spacer in front? How much roll in the rear? Aggressive? Bolt relo?

Going bold would be the 255/40 or 265/40 which will likely need a roll. Because of the large circumference a rear bumper bolt re-locate may be needed as well
Stock rear camber setting !!

It's a 10mm spacer. The rear is a flat roll. And no bolt relocate.. It might need it, but I've haven't seen much damage....come to think of it, I've seen no damage. I run semi stiff. What's helping is the camber really....

I'm hoping I wont have to run the spacer but looking to get fenders rolled in the rear this weekend. I'll post up some pics once everything gets installed. I couldn't find ANYONE running the same wheels so I guess i'm shooting in the dark.
