The "Will it fit?" thread

Yes I am planning on getting swifts. But the rear 305/30 is fine right?

Should be no problem.

ChipsWithDips · 05-01-2014, 09:40 PM

I have a base model that has been upgraded to sport brakes, so if a setup I'm looking at fits on a sport model I should be good right? No difference in the fenders or anything like that between base and sport?

My goal is a reasonably priced wheel setup that is as light as possible, and quite a bit more rubber on the ground than this base model setup. I was originally wanting RPF1s but I'm now thinking Forgestars instead.
So the plan is 18x10 +34 Forgestar F14 all around, based on what "Mike" has posted in another thread.

Tires would be 285/35 Continental Extremecontact DW

Just looking for a sanity check before I go for this.

Front:

20x10.5 +25

Dropped on ARK GT-F springs.

Too aggressive or just right?

Looking to avoid rubbing and having to use a ton of negative camber.

Thanks

Advan Racing GT
20x9.5 front +29
20x12 rears +20
im very worried they wont fit. thoughts? i used the online calculator and im willing to roll/pull a tiny bit but im still worried.
As above i want a functional build and not have to run much negative camber

Your front wheels will be sunken into the fender where as the rear wheels will poke quite bit past the fender. You'll have to run spacers (don't recommend) for the front. I personally would pass on this setup.

I'm looking at the TSW Rockinghams

Thinking

Front: 18x8
Rear: 18x9.5

It will be easy to clean

XPNSD IT · 05-06-2014, 09:05 PM

the fronts will fit pretty clean, close to the fender, widths are .5" wider and offset is almost 20mm more than stock fronts.

Actually fronts will be 25mm more than stock which might be a bit much. I think 20mm is the max most go on stock wheels.

kz34wa · 05-13-2014, 03:51 AM

Can I stay with 245/40 in the front and get 305/30 in the rear? or will i have to go wider in the front to match the tyre combo?

from what i understand if you stagger them that much you will create oversteer.

someone else could chime in to confirm this.

Hotrodz · 05-13-2014, 08:35 AM

Go wider at least 265/30!

Amuse370z · 05-14-2014, 12:38 AM

TE37SL 19x9.5+22f 19x10.5+12 dropped 1-1.5inch

Which tire size should I go with?
275/35 and 305/30, or 265/35 and 305/30...or something else all together?

Ire · 05-14-2014, 02:43 AM

you don't need 305s tbh
your rims are such that going too wide will not give noticeable performance gain over the difference in price.

I've since researched a lot on sizing and can safely say my GTs will fit given the tire choice.

The difference in price isn't too much. I just want proper sized tires for the wheels.

...and I really don't know what is considered "perfect".
