Did you even read what i posted?

this IS a SQUARE setup...and the tires are just a plus that come with the deal...I plan on running 265 35 18's all around after i save up money for the two other tires...

Im just asking if it would work for the time being with 245 40 all around....

Ok, my bad. Well I think 245's will look ridiculous. If I were you I'd run 275/35 all around for a square setup on 10.5's, but then your rear tires will be VERY short.

Im not saying its going to look awesome either lol...but i figured with a 40 series the 245 wouldnt looke TOO stretched...im planning on doing 265/35 for sure though...maybe someone on here will buy the 245 40s offa me and then i can get the other two 265/35s

someone is running 265/35's all around on his 18x10.5 rpf1 setup. i can't remember his SN though. i think its barefootracer or somethin like that.

as far as 245/40's all around...i haven't come across that. i did come across a few posts of 255/40 all around. not sure if it was a 18x10.5. it could have been a 18x9.5?

either way...265/35 seems all right. 285/35 sound better. i think Lgear runs that setup.

Cuz we ballers, and that's how we roll (trying to sound tough - don't think it's working).

Yes, no problem with it's functionality, though that stretched tire look is the ghay. Alternatively, you could sell the 245/40s and buy another pair of the 265s. The 245/40 is stock size on the NISMO front, so if they are in good condition without crazy inner tire wear from your S13 buddy, they should sell pretty easily. You could also go to a larger tire, as others have said.

How do the 18x10.5 +15 sit in the front? I have this setup, and the front sticks out by 1/2-1"

They sit just fine with my 285/30s up front. I do have some camber though.

There are more here, and the 18x10.5 +15 set is any pictures with the black wheels.

Not your typical street setup, but i run -2.7 up front and can clear my 275/40-18's on 10.5 +15 if i had to. I'm sure Scott is pretty somewhat close to me in camber.

It's no problem. I run about 3.3 degrees of negative camber on the front, and caster is maxed with a touch of toe out.

i recently dropped my car on eibach sportlines and my front camber is 1.8 and rear 2.7.

im assuming that i will not be able to acheive 2.5 camber on the stock arm unless i was super slammed? (figuring that the lower you are..the more your wheels camber in)

if i could get my front camber to even out with the rear on the stock arms that would be great. i'll go get it done at NTB today! haha

You need a set of front arms. We get camber gain as it compresses as you know. Just because you would have more camber from going lower doesn't mean you will clear, you need more camber at your non compressed setting to clear.
