I'm fitting a staggered GTR wheels set on my RWD sedan drop on Swift and rear camber, I'm going with 255/35/20 rear and considering 245/30/20 front. Can I run this combo or should I go with 255 all around?
Thanks

A 9.5 +45 will leave enough fender room for that 255. That rear 10.5 +25 will require some fairly heavy camber, but sounds like you already know that
Probably in the -2.5 range, the rear wheels will poke about 1 to 1.25" outside the fender edge (when looking straight down) but w/ the 255 stretch and that camber they should tuck under compression.

I wouldn't run that thin 245/30, if you want a 245 in front run a 245/35.

Could the same be said for ipl wheels?

IPLs are also only a 1/2" stagger, so yep, same scenario.

Alright awesome, thanks for the quick response!

I forgot to mention I'm going to use a 20 mm spacer front wheels, I was wondering if the front 245/35/ 20, rear 255/35/20 would trigger the sensor? if 245 is too thin, I'm definitively go with 255. I already try 225/35 way too thin for front wheels

A net 9.5 +25 is a bit much for a 255, but your RWD will be fine running 245/35 front 255/35 rear, if you were AWD then you would have problems, but ok w/ RWD. You could run a 235/35 but that stretch is a bit much IMO.
You could also just run those 255s all around and get smaller spacers (or none at all).

Keep in mind the front fender isn't flat-rolled like the rear, so having a bit more conservative fit in front is a good plan, especially under compression or if you plan to lower a bit more later on.
If it were me I'd run 255s all around and just reevaluate how much front spacing you need.

Buying a set of the 18" coupe Journey wheels later tonight. What is my best option for tire size you think? I would like to get 245/45s, but are those too big to comfortably be on a 8" wheel? Next option is 235s, but both 45s and 50s are off by 1.5-1.9% in diameter, which is not ideal with the x it seems (right?).

I do plan on doing a track day at some point, so I want 245s but only if its not an issue in those conditions, and I can just get 225s again if need be. Looks like I'll end up with either PSSs or Potenza S04s. Thanks in advance.

245s will be ok on the 8", that's what I'd run on those.

Going to be getting winter wheels and have a question concerning best offset. The wheel in question is 18x8 and comes in either +35 or +45 offset. I am lowered on tanabe springs. I believe the +35 offset would be best for the fronts. My question is should I go with the same offset for the rears or should I go with the +45?

You should be able to use the +35 but you're guaranteed to fit the +45. Just be careful of clearance if you have the Akebonos.

celwin

So you are saying 35 in front and 45 in rear? Both offsets clears akebono

The 8" +35 will be 10mm further out from the +45s, You'll be fine w/ the 8" +35, and for a winter tire I'd go 225/50/18 so they cut through the snow well.
And like slartibart said, if you have the big Sport brakes you'll need to confirm brake clearance, otherwise you'll be good.
And FWIW, you wouldn't want a more positive offset in back on the same width wheel, either keep them all the same or put the less positive one in back.

Last question. Compared to a 8.5 +35 front and 9.5" +40 size; How equivalent is the 8" +35/+45 is in being flush?

OK, besides looks, what am I losing by going from the stock sedan staggered set up to a squared setup, most likely @ 19x8.5.
