So right now, im running the stock 225/45/18 and 245/45/18 setup on my '03 touring. Im planning on changing to 18x9.5 +15 all around and maybe dropping it on eibach sportlines for now pending how much of a fender gap there is. Should I be able to run it without any major issues?

sounds like the rpf1 specs..

are you asking if you can use the same tires? Well to answer that I would NOT use 225's on a 9.5in wheel. The 245 is okay i guess..

what i would use for 9.5in wheel:
front - 255/xx/18
rear - 275/xx/18
xx = 35 or 40 depending on how thick you want your sidewall..

i don't think you would rub if you went with above tires in a 35 profile..

those tires will fit fine, the front will be a little stretched but who cares if you dont have to buy new tires and i dont see why you would have any issues

im running a 225/40 in the front on a 9.5

i suggest def dropping it though, rims + stock ride height - yucky IMO

my friends s14 is running 225 on his 9.5's and 245 on his 10.5's and they dont seem too stretched, so for now, im not worried about a new set of tires, its just whether or not itll clear everything; which after what you said, sounds like it will. ill def be getting a matching wider set of tires once its time though. and yeah i plan on dropping it on sportlines asap lol

you will clear by miles. A 275/40 rear on those wheels fits and 255/40 front on those wheels and offset fits fine. Those i mention are the same (proper ) tire height and just wider.

Go with your plan as is. After the wheels and tires are on the car you can decide if wider tires are needed.
