rubbing the edge of the fender? that'd fix (help) it.

that +15 is going to sit 8mm closer to the coil, and thus, 8mm more inboard from the edge of the fender. and the smaller tire size will obviously help.

Now, i can assume you are rubbing on both the fender edge and probably fender wells. I was running a 17x9 +35 (20mm spacer so +15 effective). with 3 degrees camber i was poking out quite a bit on the outside, but had ample room between the tire and coil. this was with a 255/40r17 tire.

that being said, 245/35 is not max tire on a 9.5 wheel.

Definitely not max tire and it doesn't look like I'll be able to fit a max tire on it. My 255/35 is actually rubbing the front wheel well. I think a hammer fixed it for now.. Lol!

Wish I could run 265/35 all around.

Anyone have any info or guesses on wheel specs? I’ve got some 17x9 +22 wheels and I’m hoping for similar results. 255/40?

Thanks guys

Comparison of two different sizes of the same tire.
Federal RS-RR

265/35r18 vs 275/35r18

most notable difference is tire height.

these tires are fitted on an enkei RS05RR 18x9.5 +22 wheel

265

275

265

275

265 mounted on front wheels, 275 mounted on back wheels.

EDIT: Front camber about -2.5+ degrees and rear is at 1.6-1.8.
Also noted is that these federals and also the RS-PRO run wide. These tires in a 275/35r18 measure about 11 inches, almost a 285/295. I am 100 percent certain if i fit 255/35r18 on the front and rear then I would be able to fit these with minimal pulling, but that's not max tire, is it?

Hey guys,

Will I have any issues running 17x9 +17 245/40 in the rear of my s13 with stock metal?

Thanks.

Thanks.

should need some slight work. i had 255 on 17x10 +12 5zigen, and i had 2-2.5 inches of poke on stock fenders.
