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.

 

thanks for the input haha. now i feel more confident on this purchase.

 

Let us know how it works out.
