The "Will it fit?" thread

Yes...... knew I would need new lug nuts as well, but was just concerned about length of factory stud being sufficiently long enough. I take it you have had no problems using the F14's on the stock studs and had plenty of stud length for the new lug nuts?

Yes, I'm not using any spacers, and had plenty of turns on the stock studs. As long as you get the recommended specs (width and offset), you'll be fine on stock studs.

Hey guys,

I'm looking to grab bigger rear tires on the 2015 stock 18's oem tires.
.
Here is the plan:

Move stock rears to the front and buy x2 g-Force COMP-2 A/S 275/40/18's for the rear (need all season to finish up the last couple months left of winter here). The only other options for that tire is 255/45/18. They seem to get great reviews even in light snow.

My questions:

Will I get better grip with the wider rear tires? Especially on cold streets.
Will the driving/handling be drastically affected?
Will this look good on stock suspension (fitment/fender gap/bubble)?
When I get swift spec R springs, will these tires still fit all the way around?
Can I still add spacers with that set up (including springs) without rubbing?

Also, if you have better options as well as spacer specs, feel free to chime in.

Thanks guys.

P.S. I think I posted this in the wrong place before, so my apologies for the double post.

245/45,275/40/18 is uniform & looks good on the 8,9” Wheels.
Ride quality should be better (pending tires)
Traction will be similar-I ran the 225/50,255/45 combo for the function (cold & ugly winter weather)...but dang them tires are skinny.
Ride quality increased for me with fatter meats-but there’s a trade off on fuel consumption and cost....but you’re not getting close to that ballgame w/245/275’s.
Try to keep same tread compound for best traction & handling.

Excellent. Thank you so much for the response. I'm definitely going that route.

Do you know if you can drop it 1.2" using that same setup without having rubbing issues?

Also, with that drop and wheel/tire combination do you have any spacer experience/advice? I actually like the stock 18's, I just want to close the fender gap.

This is an old picture with 20mm front & 5mm rear spacers...you may want to lower it before you purchase spacers/so you’ll be more accurate when measuring for them.
Unsure if you’re purchasing all required parts to keep your alignment in check.
