So when i get my car back im going to be getting 18x9.5 Rota Grid - Flat Black (5x114.3/e38/73) with tire size of 235/35/18

The only suspension mod i have is being lowered on s-techs... what will i have to do to make this fit?

 

If it rubs, just camber it out. Toe kills tires, not camber

 

Will a 235 even fit on a 9.5" wide tire? Not a tire/rim expert or anything but I think you gotta go 255-275 or something...

I run 18x8 and I have 235s on there.

 

the tires going to be stretched one of my friends is running it on a 18/9 but hes running a 225 i believe

 

ahh i see. wide wheels = teh sexay

 

I thought coilovers were needed to run a Hella Flush setup?

 

235 will totally fit on a 9.5 not all tires are the same but imho, if you want a stretched look, get less than a 235 width

 

not really.

 

dude dorifto88 you just made my day imma probably order my rims new starting of may if i cant find them new so if anyone is selling red or gold rota grids 18x9.5 lemme know was happenin...

 

i have 18x9.5 grids in gold, but the offset might be wrong for you (+15)

depends on tires again, but 235 isnt stretched... i know from personal experience cause i have 235's and 245s on them lol

 

those puny little tires shouldn't rub at all, especially if you are only on springs. if by "fit" you mean flush, then go for the coilovers. also be careful about clearance between wheel and strut, i would be more concerned about this than the tire/fender situation. my 17x9's (+44) come close to the coilovers, and mathematically your wheels will be 0.35mm wider on the inside, so your lower offset doesn't let you off the hook

 

235's will be a strech on those rims. 255 or 245 would be better. Go to LIC and have them roll your fenders. With fenders rolled you will not have to run so much camber, = better tire wear, longer lasting tires.
Less camber more space between strut and tire/rim

If you have a choice dump the s techs. And I hope you do not have a APS CAI. You might rub a bit on it.

 

im running 225/40/18 on my 18 x 9 +30 rota boost and its fine. as for s techs though, you'll definitely need your fenders pulled at the back. Front you'll be fine, i have a friend with the same set up as mine but his tires are 235/40/18 and its on stock struts with stechs. no front fender mod and pulled back with -1.7 or close to - 2 camber and he has no rubbing issues.

Yes, toe does it faster, but enough camber causes uneven wear too.
