will this rub?!

okay
so i plan on getting
18x8 tork imagine wheels

would 245/40 tires work?
with an tein htech lowering springs(1.9 front, 1.5 back)

or should i try offsets
and go with
18x8 in the front
and 18x9 in the back?
mostly im just looking for rubbing issues

if so, what size tires should i go with?

lol im sorry man
like i literally dont understand tires out all
haha
can you try and dumb it down for me?

I know this post is pretty old but I decided to share my own experience. I have 235/40/18 on my car with s techs and it rubs like crazy. After I drove away I would rub from turning at 40+ mph and on the bumps in the road.

Am I the only one that thinks the stock tires are already pretty wide for the car? If you look at other small cars, like the saturn I used to own, it only had 195/65R15 (I believe). The widest I would ever want to go is about 225. That gives just about the right balance between dry summer driving and wintery snow driving. Wider tires would suck in the winter time.

I'm going to revive this thread again to find out about this. In a perfect world where I have the money to run a summer set-up and a winter set-up, I would like to know what I would have to do to get something like this to fit. I just saw my first set of 285 tires today. I think I fell in love. So much rubber lol. What would I have to do to get them to fit without rubbing and without using some kind of spacer? Also, what do you think they would look like on a tC?

Well, I didn't think to take any pics of them. I saw them in Pep-Boys while looking for wheels and tires for my father's S-10. He's looking to go with 16'' wheels and 256/75/16 tires. While we were looking at tires, I spotted them. Unfortunately, they were only for 20" wheels (yuck). I got interested in them after seeing a set in the video that I posted in the video section. I was just wondering if I had the money for the wheels and tires, could I fit them on there without modifications. Wide body kit is ugly (sorry to anyone who reads this and has one). I don't know what is involved in a fender shave. Here is a pic of a 285/40/17. Tell me they wouldn't look good...

Sorry, maybe I'm alittle too tired...but I don't understand your logic? What do you mean?

Oh, ok. I know what you mean now. I agree. That pic is supposed to be of 17". I don't know. Either way, I think it would make an awesome summer set-up.

I've been looking at some wheels and all the ones I find mostly have a +35 offset. DO these rub on all cars or just lowered?

Ok. So if I keep my stock heighth for now, I could go with a +35 offset.

Ok. Sorry to be asking so many questions, I just want to make sure that if I started a build sheet, I would be getting everything right. If you can't do it right the first time, don't do it at all, you know? I was looking into the wheels in the other thread I showed you and was hoping to go with a 225/40/18 setup. What do you think?
