Here's the clearance for the coilover/tire with the 18x9 et42 and 255/35 RE71R (they run wider than most). A 245 would take 1-2mm away, and an 8mm spacer, another 2mm, which would be ideal for the 9" wheel IMO, or a 235/40.. When I go 9.5", I'll still most likely run 255's, but square.
After I set the rear ride height dial in the alignment, today, I'll give the car a detail it's been waiting for, in/out and underneath. Until then, cheers  |
First of all, I love your build!
I wanted to ask you a few questions about your wheel fitment, specially in the front. I got a set of Potenza S007A in 235/40r18s and Id like to run them in a square configuration with either a 18x9 ARC-8s or EC-7s in an et42 like yourself, I’m not planning to track the car and my suspension is stock. I know a lot of people run the 18x8.5s in either in an et35 or an et45 (with maybe a 3mm front spacer, that turns that et45 wheel to a et42), this seems to be a fairly common Fitment for the f22s; However, I like the 18x9 rim because it does have a slightly different profile look than the 18x8.5 version of the same wheel.
My question is in regards what you think would be the minimal front spacer size needed to clear the front strut with a 235/40r18 tire, given that this tire is roughly 3/4” narrower than the 255s you’re running, also how much camber do you think will be needed with the narrower tire. Thank you.
