Anyone here running 17x9 with 245/40s on a 11-14 hatch?
I'm going airlift suspension and wondering if they rub. I see a couple people in the past ran them but no definite answers.

What Dan said. I have 17x9 +42 with 255/40 continental dw tires. I'm stock height with no issues and a buddy running the same tire and wheel setup is on coils and only rolled rears to be safe. I don't think he actually needed to though.
Edit: I have an 11 hatch. His is a 12 sedan. Last edited by ThimWRX; 02-05-2015 at 09:08 AM. |

Also keep in mind that in some cases for GR STis a spacer is needed in the front for the wheel to clear the brembo calipers |

so then in that case i think you'll be fine with rolling the rears and fronts will be okay (taking the other guys word on clearing the calipers). I have 18x10 +38 RPF1s on 265/35s and lowered a bit over an inch. No rubbing in the front (with a 5mm spacer) or the back with a roll and -1.5 camber

18x9.5 35 offset 245/40/18 2011 hatch wrx
I know someone selling miro 563 18x9.5 38 offset on
245/40/18 tires. I've been researching and can't seem to get a definitive answer If it will not rub or mess up the gearing on my car. I have a 11 wrx hatch stock suspension. Thanks for your help! |

From experience, a 9.5" wide wheel will work at around +40 (give or take a couple of mm). The lower offset allows decent tire clearance on the inside. Steering feel is slightly worse from the lower offset, but it's not terrible. A 265/35R18 tire happens to be within 0.1% of the stock size, and that fits pretty well. (You may have to do minor fender rolling at the back if the car is lowered. It depends on the tire...not all 265/35R18 are created equal.)<br /> EDIT: My apologies. I was thinking our tires were 245 to begin with...but are 235. Anyway...here is a link that may help you out: http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-...0R18/265-35R18 Last edited by ThimWRX; 02-06-2015 at 02:52 PM. |

But would the 245 be a problem enough for me to notice?
So since I'm not lowered a 265/35r18 wouldn't rub right? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using NASIOC mobile app |

The 245 won't make a huge difference, plus it's within 2% of the stock tire size which is the "safe zone". The tire itself may look a little small. But the 265 should not rub on stock suspension. every tire is not created equal though.

I would think that you would get rubbing with a 265 and unrolled fenders even at stock height. Not always, but it would happen.

I've rolled 4 or 5 GR's and haven't had a single paint chip/crack yet. The paint is pretty good when properly heated.

On stock suspension a 255/35r18 should not have any issues. so would you recommend a 9 inch wheel or 9.5 or does it matter?

Anyone on here with 275/40/17 w/ springs and oem shocks? Debating if I should get that or stay safe with 265. I'm currently on 17x9.5 38et rpf1's wrapped in 255/40 with RCE black springs with rears rolled pretty good. Looking into buying a set of Michelin PS2s

Hello friends, i've read about 40 pages in this thread and can't seem to find the info i need.
I have a 2012 WRX HATCH. I plan on getting some BC BR Coilovers + Enkei Kojin 18x9.5x45. The +40 offset looks SUPER CLEAN and that's what I really want, but they don't have that offset for Kojins. 1) Will the +45 offset work? If so, any performance loss? And what tire should I run? 2) Anyone recommend 18x9.5 OR 9 +40 wheels? - 5, 6, 9 spoke design - no rotas THANKS!!!!!! |

1.) +45? performance loss? other way around.
2.) you have bc coils. you can't really brand bash. it'll be fine. visually, it'd be near identical. |

Run a 5mm spacer if +40 is important to you.
5mm is less than 1/4", it's really not going to be perceptible in any way. |
