If you ever get the chance to throw one up front in the sizing I ordered could you let me know how the clearance is? I'm sticking 245s up front aswell...
You should be good. Want me to test them ???

Heard great things about the new BFG for Streets, but someone currently competing in autocross can probably suggest better tire choices.

How would 18x8 +30 go all round? This would be on stock suspension and eventually lowered with the eibach 1" drop springs

Thanks guys

No problems with that setup. The rears will be tucked a bit.

Thanks for that..

Ye i thought so but CST Hyper Zeros only come in 18x8 for 5x100pcd

I could put a 5mm spacer on the rear i guess.

The fronts shouldn't poke at all ye?

again thank you

Hi guys,

I'm looking at a set of 19x8 with an Offset/ET: - 50

It appears the rims have a negative offset, does that sound right? It seems like an extreme amount of negative offset. I'm guessing they won't fit an FRS/BRZ/86?

Would I be able to flush them to the fender with some spacers?

Thanks guys!!

They must be positive offset. But even a +50 will probably hit the struts on an 8" wide rim.
Spacers will help, but not ideal. Just look at getting correct offset wheels. On an 8 inch wheel, ideal offset would be +40 +\- 5mm in either direction.

Spacers would make that MORE negative. Only way to add offset (+) would be machining off some of the wheel's hub surface (if it can be done on that wheel) or I think if it's a 3pc wheel, you can swap the rims around and change the offset, but I've never dealt with those wheels and can't say for sure.
