255 Square possible?
Is it possible to fit 255 Square on these cars? If I HAVE to, I would run a spacer, but I would prefer something like I had on my E92 (17X9 ARC 8 ET30)

It's possible, but likely won't be a bolt on fitment. Some degree of fender modification and camber plates will be needed.

If I was doing a 255 square set up I would look for 18x9et50 and use a 15mm front spacer.
Will be tight on the front but could work, but I havent tried it. I assume this is for track so you probably want a decent amount of camber anyway. These are Arc8s in 17x9et42 + 5mm spacer on the front with 245/40 A050 R comps and -2 camber. |

I think what's posted here so far mostly applies to stock height F22s. Plus, note that tires of the same size can vastly differ from one manufacturer to another, and even from one model to another.
255 square (and even 265s) are definitely possible, but most, if not all, are lowered on coilovers with fenders rolled and more negative camber. |

I'm on Ohlins with camber plates.
Those 245s are bigger than a 255 road tyre. You aren't going to fit big tyres on a square set up without having to use front spacers. You could do 18x8.5et40 but it would be a compromise in the rear. |

Compromise in the rear how? (I'm serious, I don't know)

I feel like we are going around in circles.
That's what I recommended, but it would require a spacer to clear the front struts and you said you didn't want spacers. |

Just so I understand, Running a lower offsets or running spacers would cause it to poke- right? What is the lowest offset I can run, even with a little poke? |

Have any leads on a lightweight 17x9et50? 17x9et45 seems much more common.
