Can 9.5" wheels be run on stock tires? Can 10.5" wheels be run on stock tires?

Basically Ive got newish stock sized tires on OEM wheels. I want to get wheels now and then will get wider tires when its time to replace.

Thanks.

I'm curious, can you run 18x9.5 +22 with a 285/35 on just swift sport springs? I know rolling the rear fender is needed but would it rub the stock strut?

The stock 245's can be run on 9.5's safely and are only slightly stretched. The 245's can be mounted on the 10.5's but it will look really silly with all the stretch. It's not very safe either.

Need some tires for my Advan RZ 18x10 +25, will 265/35 stretch too much?

Considered 275/35 but dont wanna roll my fenders.

I'm sorry but this ones too funny. Will a 10.4" wide tire (265) be "stretched too much" over a 10" wheel. smh

I'm not trying to be a dick, but I wonder if ppl even math before they post.

Oh I'm sorry I've must have posted on the wrong thread, this is the All Wheel and Tire Fitment Questions and Confirmations thread?

Just wanted to see if any here ran this setup and can weigh in.

Not trying but accomplished

i know, my apologies, but did you even look to see if the tires you were worried about "stretching" were even skinnier than the wheel you were putting it on?

1. Did you search? This setup has been talked about many times in this exact thread.

You will still need to roll the rears with 265's, unless you find a super skinny 265. I had Toyo R1R and they rubbed. You won't really know until you put them on.


2. I think 265 is slightly stretched on a 10" wheel. 265 is not even the recommended size for 10" wheel. The ideal size is 285. I run 275's now and would recommend to at least run that size.

Can you run 265's? Sure. You can, and I did for a while. 275's is just a better fit.

Tread width and wheel size aren't intended to equal one another.

i meant to edit my other post last night, but:

I ran 18x10 et18 on 255/35 for 2 years. You WILL have to roll your [rear] fenders.

Alright guys. Im not one to typically do this but I need help. I have an Evo x with stock struts and tein lowering springs. I'm getting new wheels but can't decide. Im interested in nt03 and want to know how to make them fit without rubbing and preferably without spacers. If this fails. What would be some decent wheels that fit with my setup without rubbing and again without spacers. Thanks for any input.

Well, I mean it depends on how aggressive you want it to be.

You could be ultra conservative and get stock size and offset and run stock rubber. I see they make an 18x8.5+38.

But assuming you want something that sits more flush I think the 18x9.5+27. Run that with a 265/35R18 tire and it'll sit a lot more flush. However, I can't guarantee it won't rub in the rear. That depends on many things (like tire choice, alignment...).

It won't rub much though so a very light roll of the rear fender liner would fix any issues. That's the size I would recommend.

anyone know of a evo x running work emotions xd9 18x10 +18. i contacted work wheels usa, and they said the would clear the front calipers with 25mm spacers , but vendors have told me they will not clear the front calipers.

wild buff-evo

Sweet thanks man! Close to stock size is what I was thinking. Yes I do want a bit more flush. The size you recommend clears brembos?

zayzay
