Thank you for making this video!! After watching would you guys say that for complete stock suspension and does not require any modifications, sizing would be 265/35 for +38 and 255/40 for +35 would be the widest and highest aspect ratio tire combination? Thanks in advance!

WOW WOW WOW what great info from start to end men! solid job. I have a 2011sti and live in Alaska so I will be keeping my stock car hight due to heavy snow, and there are as many dirt roads as there are paved, so underbelly clearance is absolutely a must. I will be running new coilers but staying with close to stock alignment and and stance. Now I am armed with the info I need to shop. I am looking at 265/35 18s and 35 offset as well. My question is I have the stock tire pressure transmitter for tire pressure out of my factory rims. Are they all standard sizes? another words, will they fit the new rims or are they manufacturer specific? Thank you for taking the time (-:

Great Advice 👍

Great video, guys! I know you are getting lots of questions. Do you mind quickly confirming that 18X8 +35 will be ok?! I bought these and don't even have my WRX yet lol I have no plans of altering suspension and don't want to use spacers. Thanks!

@WRXGarage

Жыл бұрын

Poke will depend more on the wheel offset than the tire size. 18x9.5 +35 or +38 is the perfect amount of poke. As for tire size on that wheel, 255/35 or 265/35 are both good options.

Thanks

But how does the different sizes affect the Speedometer

Great informative video. Earned a Sub. I just ordered Option Labs 18x9.5 +35 for my 2020 STi and this came in extremely handy. QQ. I plan on putting Ohlins on in spring/summer. Currently on stock suspension. I understand from the video and reading the posts that either 255/35, 255/40 and 265/35 will work fine on a stock setup with my new wheels. When I put the Ohlins on that will lower the car about 1". Will that still hold true with the aforementioned tire sizes? Our roads are pretty bad here and having a little more sidewall is always beneficial. Leaning towards the 255/40 or 265/35 for that reason...just want to ensure fitment w/o rubbing and going crazy with camber. I have a different HPDE setup, so I'm looking for street use. TIA

@WRXGarage

3 жыл бұрын

Hey that's an awesome plan! For that exact wheel setup, with a 1" drop, you could easily run either 255/35 or 265/35. Especially with ohlins that run high spring rates 8k or 10k or higher, the spring travel will be limited compared to stock. If you plan on really slamming it and taking away more of the wheel gap, 255/35 will let the wheel tuck in a bit easier. 265/35 is meatier and might need a fender roll to tuck more. 265/35 would also be a tiny bit more comfortable on bad roads. You could also combat rubbing issues with more camber, but that has effects on handling and performance once you go farther than 4degrees.

I don’t want to roll anything, i dont want any spacers or what nots. If I get coil overs later, set at 1/2-1in lower, will my decision still be optimum? I could shoot for the 9.5in width, or the smaller 245s, but feel 255/40s would counter the smaller diameter wheel and potentially even give me a taller tire.

Fender flares are designed to replace the outer lip of the fender, you're supposed to cut off the oem fender underneath to make room for larger wheels/tires. With these tape on ones, they aren't designed to do that, only bump the fender out visually. Which means adding them without cutting the fender underneath will actually make your wheels fit worse

Offset is the distance from the center of the wheel to the back of the wheels hub face. The lower the number, the closer the hub face is to the center of the wheel, which means the face of the wheel sticks out. You'd probably have to camber the crap out of +22 with a 9.5" wheel to not rub. The stock suspension is too soft to run agressive setups

Yeah those definitely will on stock suspension. With coilovers, you should still be able to get an inch or 2 of lowering with that setup. To get even more low, you'd need LCAs in the rear or rolled fenders!

@@WRXGarage hey guys still doing some homework did you notice any drawbacks going to the wider wheel/ lower offset as far as handling is concerned? Thanks again

is it possible to run staggered setup on a wrx or it never works? i have two options. 245/35/18 rear 285/35/18, it only has a 0.4% difference between the circumference and diameter and 275/35/18 rear 295/35/18 the diameter is equal front and rear and circumference is basically the same 84.9 to 84.7

Sounds to me like your math is a bit off.. the difference in sidewall height between 245/35 and 285/35 is massive. Remember that "35" sidewall is a ratio not a measurement. Also, 245/35 is going to be very very stretched on an 18x9.5 wheel. Unless you're talking about a staggered wheel setup too.. From my understanding, staggered setups are basically only for Subarus that do the quarter mile. for a street car, and even most track cars, you don't need to run tires wider than 275 at the absolute maximum, some say 265 is the max.

@WRXGarage

To be completely honest, aftermarket 18" wheels would be a better option than 19". Better ride quality, more selection for wheel models and specs, better performance. That being said, 19x9 or 19x8.5 +35 are good options.

@WRXGarage

With stock suspension and that wheel size, 255/35 would probably be your best bet. 265/35 might fit, but there's a chance of rubbing in the rears over hard bumps at high speeds. 255/40 would also work for stock suspension. On the other side of things, 265/35 would protect your wheels the most, 255/40 second best, 255/35 third best.

@WRXGarage

Personally, I think the performance and overall look of the 265/35 is the best, but 255/35 also looks great. 255/40 looks really beefy which some people like, and if you're not lowering the car you can definitely fit those too

255/35 is usually the best option for 9.5" wheels! You could also go with 255/40 for a thicker sidewall or 265/35 for a bulkier tire shoulder.
