So I'm gona run staggered and go 18x8f 18x9r et35. Im pretty low from what you guys have seen but in person people always say I'm lower than what the pictures show :/. curently running -1f and -1.5r camber. What would be a good tire size for the wheels? do I have to get 2 different tire sizes? and I dont mind if i have to stretch tires. Just want advice/opinions on the optimal size to run with the wheel sizes.

^ that would give a stretch look and kinda looks aggressive.. but you can always go bigger like 235 and 225.. it will still look stretched but you might need to pull the fenders some more or give more - camber

scion_jon

thing is i dont want to have to pull fenders...

ive run an 18x8 all around 35 offset with 225/40/18 with my current camber and rubbed like hell driving normal. the front would rub when i turned, i could handle that, but the backs were constant rubbing and scraping especially when i'd turn.

maybe the 215/40/18 would work or a 35 sidewall?

just be very careful with potholes.. always avoid bad road coz you are hella stretched haha

scion_jon

so if i run that tire size with those wheel specs I'm gona be pretty stretched?

roads here are pretty good, except when it rains cause pot holes form. other than that i drive mostly freeway and inner city.

I had 215/40 on my 18x8F and 18X9R with a +38 offset. The "stretch" on the 9 is not aggressive whatsoever. It's hardly noticeable, if anything.
Did not need fenders rolled or pulled. If you're really low; slight camber would be advised.

sounds good, i might have to make the back an even -2camber

do you have a picture btw?

215 on a 9" wide wheels is still considered an aggressive stretch imo even if its not aggressive enough for your taste but technically it is considering the safety/reliability aspect.. you'll just need to be cautious with driving

here's a stretch of 9.5 wheels on 225 tires



and 9.5 on 245 tires, even the 245 looks just a bit stretched already

This is the 215/40/18 Falken Ziex 912 on an 18x9 wheel:

I wasn't as worried as I am now on 225/35/18 on a 10inch wide wheel.

The wheel from the pic is from a set that's currently pending sale. Just took the pic for Jon's reference.

I'll post in the Custom Wheel thread with the new wheels.

thanks for the pics guys, the stretch looks good to me, and I wanna be safe and not have extreme stretch like some of the people on here.

but yeah, 215/40 on a 9 is nothing bro. u dont have to worry about anything
