anyone have 9" wide rims in the fronts
Does anyone have 9 inch wide rims in the front. I want to know what size tires you have on there. i heard from volk racing that if i put a 245/40/18 i will have a slight rubbing. Instead they directed me to put a 235/40/18 on. I am putting on the volk racing SF CHALLENGE wheel with a 34 offset with toyo proxies T1Rs if that information make any difference.Anyone have this done or experienced this??
Thanks

The main issues I had was see'ing if they would fit and what not. Use this calculator to see what will help fit. If your car isn't lowered and u have stock suspension, that will fit easy.

If you have 9" wheels then 235's are waaaaaaaaaaaay too narrow. They'll look funny.

Your 255/35 tire will have a siewall height of 44.625mm. Your 245/40 tire will have a sidewall heigth of 49mm.

What size rim do you have in the rear? I have a 10" rim back there. I think 275/35/18 will be good on the rear. As for the fronts, im thinking about the 255/35/18 from everyone here.

Do you have a side shot so we can see how much the tire sticks out from the body panel? If it sticks out at all. The 285's are what I want to move up to next, but the last time I had one put on my wheel (about 4 years ago) it stuck out like a boy racer car.

I had already mentioned this in a prior post, and I think when I had those tires put on my car for a test fit I had stock camber settings. They stuck out. Now, I have a better camber setting and my 275's actually are tucked inside the wheel well enough that a 285 tire should work okay. Next year, when I replace my rear tires I will have some test fit.
