I have a bone stock 2011X sport sedan with aftermarket 18x8.5 +32 wheels (square)... so is 245/45/18 the ideal tire for my setup? I like the look of the 245/40/18 better but it is around 4% off from stock, would that cause any problems other than the speedo being off?
Also, anyone have any pics of 245/45/18 on 18x8.5 wheels so I can see how the sidewalls look? Thanks!

 

That's the stock rear tire size on all S sedans, here's a factory pic

 

Ahh that's right, I forgot the RWD sports ran 8.5 rears. Do you think 245/45/18 will fit with my 18x8.5 +32 offset wheels on all 4 corners?

 

Squared setup with 18x8.5 +43, on 20mm spacers on front, 25mm on back.




Eibach drop at the beginning of the year.

 

Mr_Mer are you running 245/45/18 ?

 

Indeed they are 245/45 R18

 

True. BUT, if I start inside the fenders, by adding spacers I can get closer to the flush look I want vs. being at a point where I am outside and have to worry about the fendres. I think that is the route I am gonna take. +22 with maybe 5-10mm spacer in front and idk..10-15 rear.

 

anyone running 19x9.5 et22 on a sedan? I'm going to run this setup in the future, but I am wondering if they'll rub. I'm going to be lowered on eibach springs. Will that be low enough to make them work?

Thanks,

 

^^^^I'd shoot a PM to ChinkyChoy, those specs are real close to what he's run.

 

Depending on tire size they'll be pretty flush. I was running +20 offset on eibach springs and was pretty even with the fender but would tuck under compression.

not flush..fronts more so than the rear..
does not rub with normal driving..


up for sale in the classifieds..

 

i am 3mm less aggressive and i sit flush on coils with 245/40 tires. you ll poke a little bit may have to run a 235 tire but like other have said will probably tuck under compression maybe some camber can help prevent rubbing

 

Thanks for all the input guys. I would like to run 245/40 tires with 22et. Maybe I should get my fenders rolled?

How low are you on coils? Eibachs are about 1.5 inches in the front. Hopefully you have a similar drop to that so I can gauge if this is a setup I would go with.

 

Only pic I have unfortunately, 245/40/19 on a 9.5 +20. You won't need to do any fender work.

 

thanks baby jumpman. Your sedan looks amazing!!!
