the 17x9 +35 255/40 setup you linked likely works "ok" because hes on a mildly dropped stiff spring. but i bet he rubs when he hits a huge bump. i have a 17x9 +44 that are used in the summer. with 245/40/17 tires (slight stretch) it still rubbed with Konis and RCE blacks and needed a rear roll. even with the camber at -2*. 17x9 +42/+45 is a great fitment, and sure it fits better than a +35 for obvious reasons, but that doesnt automatically mean its a non-issue type fitment. it still might require camber, or a roll, or both, depending on suspension specifics.

lets take a look: staggered setup generally not a good idea for AWD as different amounts of tire stretch can affect overall tire diameter, will increase wear on the center differential. im not saying that your diff will implode, but i could see it potentially causing issues. car is WAY too low will not handle as well as a car with proper suspension travel and proper suspension geometry. you bought coilovers to slam your car. good job improper tire size for wheel width running a 205 width tire on a 8.5-9" wide wheel is just stupid. it looks stupid. it does not give you more performance, it reduces it. not sure why im trying to tell you these things though, you're probably one of the ILDS idiots who cruise parking lots at 5mph and then claim they never have any problems. gee i wonder why LOL. there are pics of my car earlier in this thread. feel free to scroll back and see what a proper wheel/tire/suspension setup looks like.

The poster I linked mentions in another thread that he has a rolled rear, and running a larger tire than you with no issues. Hell, I sold a local my old 17x9 +30 torques with a 245 federal (fits like a 255), and he was fine with a rear roll with no issues. All of this information can be found in the two stickies at the top of the forum. Quote:

Finally got my Konis installed. I'm already running Epic springs and this combination is perfect for a daily driver. The car now feels the way it should when going over bumps and just driving in general. I haven't measured the hub-to-fender yet to see if the Konis dropped the front at all, but probably this weekend. Overall, I paid $880 shipped for Epic springs and Konis and I really don't see a coilover in the same price range outperforming this combination. The only ones that could maybe come close are the ISC N1s but I haven't really done much reading on those.

Very nice. Enkei is putting into production some good sizes and offsets of the RPF-1 because of the BRZ.
All good news |

Anyone running the skinny XXR 530's? 17x7 +35 or 18x7.5 +32? Really interested in these wheels because I don't want anything aggressive.

The new Tenzo TZ7 looks good, but I would like to see how concave they are. Anyone has tried it or has pics of them installed?

I'd imagine not concave at all like this picture.
And personally.. I'd stick with the Enkei Raijin or TSW Nurburgring over those Tenzo's. Unless there is some reason to go with the Tenzo over the other two? |

Fitment Question
I am looking to purchase some summer tires and wheels for my 08 WRX sedan, wondering if I will have any fitment issues. Will I need fender mods, or spacers, etc.
Saw some other 522 pics on here but no specs listed. Wanted to double check before ordering so i know if I need any additional work, confused on what offset to get as well. Sorry for the noob post, first time looking to do wheels. Want to get: Wheel Specs: XXR 522 18x8.5 Gold 5-100 [(+48mm) or (+30mm)] Tire and Specs: Hankook Ventus V12 EVO K110, 235/40/18 Suspension: Stock (coilovers soon) Fender Modification: ? Wheel Spacers: ? |

I wouldn't necessarily plan on wheel spacers. Shoot for a size you think you want, and use spacers to adjust if necessary. It is debated, but I think the general consensus is that spacers are never ideal. |

I still like that Tenzo setup Gregor, sweet wheels. Qwak, are you still running 255/40/17s? Meaty.

My summer setup is Sumitomo HTR ZIII 245/40/18 x 9 +38 Drag DR-31
My winter setup (pictured above) is Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 215/50/17 x 8.25 +25 XXR 527 The illusion of meaty with an aggressive offset and a tall tire (more ground clearance), while being narrow to cut through the snow. |

Judging by the picture and apparent tires size of 235/40R18...
I'd guess they are 18x8's. Obviously I don't know for sure. Do you mean that when he gets coils he'll rub ON the coils? Because a +48 with 235 tires isn't going to rub on the fenders, coils or not. |

Apparently it's a fairly new wheel and there aren't pics around, that's the first I see installed. But they come in 37 offset, maybe that looks deeper. They also come in charcoal and in black, maybe those look better.
