So 1" lower and just looking at the inners it (seems close)? Or unless I'm not thinking clearly on how the tire travels and moves inwards during compression? Does anyone see that 11.4 more front and 8.4 more back being an issue?
Shouldn't be an issue. Also those figures are mm right, so it's like 1.4 cm more poke and only 1.4 mm inside, that inside amount is like two toothpicks stacked as a width lol. You can look and see how much space you have now from the wheel to anything inside when the car is on the ground, should be fine!

So you should be fine on the rear but the front can always be an issue because the wheel turns and it is much easier for it to grab the fender. Watch your fender liners and be very careful about driveways or really hard cornering. It is when the wheel is turned and the suspension compresses that you can run into issues especially when the car is lowered.

Instead of staggered 18" sizes (as I posted above)

18” - 7.5J - S1 - Pressed Gunmetal - 5H x 114.3 - +50 RE30
18” - 8.5J - S1 - Pressed Gunmetal - 5H x 114.3 - +52 RE30

On Dunlop Direzza Star Spec Z2s F&R

Can I just run Square 245s on:

RE30 CS 17” - 9J - S1 - Pressed Gunmetal - 5H x 114.3 - +63

Wheel/Tire Fitment guide says:

Existing / New
Diameter 631.9mm 627.8mm
Circumference 1985.2mm 1972.3mm
Poke 27.6mm 51.3mm
Inset 137.6mm 177.3mm
Speedo error 0% 0.65%
Reading at 30mph 30mph 30.2mph
Reading at 60mph 60mph 60.39mph
Ride height gain 0mm -2.05mm
Arch gap loss 0mm -2.05mm

Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 39.8mm closer to the suspension strut.
The outer rim will poke out 23.8mm more than before.

Manga?

just want to vouch for nengun.com i've ordered from them a handful of times.
Thanks man. I'm confused by their shipping options, but at least they're legit.
Same as the guy above. You will want to watch the fronts closely on either setup but the square one more than the staggered setup.

Thanks man! Square lets me run the same tires/rims across both my STI and my S2K

And that these would fit with OE tyres size (or 255/40 R17 rear), lowered on Eibachs and not rub?

Thanks.
Hi. What about the fronts with 10mm spacers lowered 25mm.

Thanks.

The spacer would make it so you should roll the front fenders.

I've been doing some searching but have not been too successful so figured I'd post and see if I can have some input and help. I have a stager setup up of 17x8/17x9 BBS LM's with +40 offset all around. I am purchasing BC coilovers in a custom 12k springrate and looking to purchase some Hankook R-S3 version 2 tires as well. I do NOT intend on slamming the cars but I do want to lower it. With that being said, I intend on auto crossing the car and realistically hitting Sebring eventually. Is it possible to do 245/40's in the front and 255/40's in the rear without running into alot of troubkle? I do have a fender roller also

Thanks!

You have to roll the fenders relocate the rear tabs and probably run more camber especially in front. Front may need a slight pull. 245 is bordering on to wide for an 8 and the RS3 runs pretty wide so I would maybe look at a 225 255 combo over 245 255.

It looks like the R-S3 maybe out of reach for me since they don't make it in a 225, I was thinking the same in the case that I may be pushing it on a 245. Oh well, The Direzza DZ II seems like its going to be the winners here. Do you think that 235/40 is still pushing it as well?
