BrandonCB Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) I unfortunately don’t have any pictures to contribute, however I have read so many questions in this thread asking about tire size and what it will look like on certain widths. I see people have already mentioned willtheyfit.com, which I use all the time researching. There is another great one though that I haven’t seen mentioned, tyrestretch.com. Even if you’re not looking to stretch, it’s a database of basically every wheel/tire combo imaginable. Not as much meaty tire pics, but there not all stretched either. It’s so helpful to be able to see different brands of tires and how different their sidewall profiles can be depending on wheel width and the resulting effect on fender clearance. Here is a link that should go straight to the gallery https://tyrestretch.com/list Edited January 22, 2020 by BrandonCB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scubaboo Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 ^Those look like the relatively new Rota FF (Flow Forged) wheels, they are 19 inchers I think. Nice Johann! Were you able to get your Bilsteins fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19transam81 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Guys, I’m looking at doing an adaptor of 5x100 to 5x114, 15 mm is pretty standard, and picking up a set wrx wheels or STi wheels. So many people are changing to aftermarket and there is a lot of factory wheels on the cheep. I have a 2012 LGT sedan , do you think an 18x8.5 +40 would work if I did a roll of the fenders? Think 245/40/18 tire . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzkiwichickee Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 nice looking set. What offset are your rims & are they 18x8.5? Ended up going with the 245.45.18 tyre. We fitted a 245.45 on the front and a 245.40 on the back to compare each size. While the 45 profile looks a little more plump......it filled the guards so much better. The 245.40 just looked too small for the car. I'll post up some better photos tomorrow. Just a couple photos from the gas station tonight. http://i.imgur.com/5DSPKSE.jpg http://i.imgur.com/CAGZrzv.jpg http://i.imgur.com/RswP0ko.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzkiwichickee Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 19x9 kudos rims with Pirelli 245x45 also have Adjustables in it. So glad I went for a 19. I originally had 18s which looked too small for my liking. Excuse the dirty wagon [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autonoob Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I am planning to change the old wheels of my car and this thread just gave me an idea on what to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssulb Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) These are Axis X-Factor wheels staggered with 8.5" fronts and 9.5" rears with an offset of 40. They have Federal 595 225/40 tires mounted all around (square stance). I got these off Craigslist from a BRZ owner for a good price. I may sell them because I am not a fan of the staggered setup because I can't rotate the tires. But they do look amazing and the tires feel great. The rear is a tad too stretched for my liking as well. Edited July 10, 2020 by ssulb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, but I have the same exact 225/40/18 tires mounted on all four corners (square stance). In that case, I don't think I am doing any damage since the wheels are not spinning at different speeds. It would be a different story if I had wider tires mounted in the rear.

It would be a different story if I had wider tires mounted in the rear.That not how it works....if you have the same sized tire stretched on a wider rim, you aren't squared. You have a smaller rolling diameter at the rear. Sent from my Redmi 4X using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not sure if it is within Subaru spec though.) But I looked at them when they were off the car. So it maybe possible that this changes when the tires gets pushed down by the weight of the car depending how the sidewall acts. I took them off a couple days ago anyways, because I just wanted to see how they look. Edited July 12, 2020 by ssulb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
