TwoSocks Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Just curious before i go to sell the wheels. Are there any tyres that could stop the wheels poking out so much? Got 255 currently on but its way too big, Would a 235/40/18 be a better fit on a 9.5J? Trying to keep stretch as low as possible, planning on a set of BC racing coilovers.

BoostJunky86 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Most of the Evo boys run 235/40's on 9.5J ok, 235's look stretched though but that's so they can get 9.5's under the arches with either ET30or20 under. I'm running 255/35's on mine though and I wouldn't want run much narrower but then I want my car to handle and drive hard and stretched tyres would make me nervous haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoSocks Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 Thats what ive heard, Just wondering if ill get away with a 245? As they stick out WAAAY too far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostJunky86 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I'm gonna try my ET38 9.5 Rotas on with 255's just to see what they fit like. Tbh can you not replace with some ET30's and stick with a 255? End of the day stretching the tyres to get clearance is never the best idea as the rim itself will be the next thing to foul should it get chance?

BoostJunky86 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 What wheels se they if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoSocks Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 The wheels are Japan Racing JR10 ET20 9.5J. I brought them from a facebook post but they all have 255/40/18 tyres on them. Put them on to find out my drivers rear shock is dead and has a different brand on the other side! Im picking up some BC Racing coilovers in aa few weeks and wanted to know the best tyres to get it to sit nice with the coils! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoSocks Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Ill show you what they look like on Edited July 31, 2016 by TwoSocks Pictures (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostJunky86 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 They a 255/40? Don't think stretching tyres alone will cure that. A decent increase in camber is probably required too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoSocks Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 Thats a 255/40, That type of increase will lead to loss of handling right? Just trying to find best solution but looks like i need to get coils, then buy 2 new wheels for the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostJunky86 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I thought so. I'd have said yes it the Angle thatd sit at itd handle like crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoSocks Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Yeah ill have to get coils first and buy 2 new wheels after, sad times indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 This is 18x9.5 ET21 with a Toyo R888 245/40/18 on BC BR coilovers set to 103mm between adjustment collars: https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/13914057_996286550470016_6876219682437696468_o.jpg https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/13641284_996286533803351_4532169976634096771_o.jpg https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/13653277_996286130470058_3246285002182764575_o.jpg I'll try to get better pictures this evening if I remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoSocks Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Thats perfect if it is because im buying BC coils soon, arches stock or rolled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I remember those wheels from the FB post also, those fronts stick out way too much. Doubt you'd cure that without some serious work. Simply too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Thinking out loud, I'd be interested in the fronts if you just sell those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I'd get some ridox style front wings. The easiest oem style wing and should help cover that wheel overhang. Expensive way to fit the wheels but anything else would ruin that oem look. Ridox front wings don't even look after market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
