Thanks for the quick response! I’m not for a stretch look so 235 would be good for me. But for a more “comfortable ride” would be 245 with rolled fenders I presume?
I have run both sizes on a 9.5" wheel, and can say that you really can't tell the difference, unless you are talking about the awful Continentals that my car came with!(?) Horrible tires!!!

LOL. I’ll keep that in mind. Although the continental soles on the Adidas Ultraboost are nice to run in ?. Thanks again for the help!

Yes, you both could have, and should have. The spokes on the 9.5", 38mm are much more concave. Still nice looking wheels though.
Yeah, I was just being cautious before that I won’t rub or it won’t be poking out too much since I first saw this setup from Thailand that they also used the same wheel and tire specs. Only difference is that they used Tein coilovers.

for a 9.5 wheel Id goo with a 255 tire. 245/40 is good but its got a bit of a stretch look to em. Thats what ill be going for when i get new tires

lovin' the look! although i feel 255 would be to thick for my D2 springs and cause rubbing especially with passengers. Eibach drops at 1.5" and D2 drops at 2" so im sure it'll rub with 255 unless I roll and pull the fenders right or does the "natural camber" help with that issue?

Im glad im getting good help in this forum!

As far as I know, Since D2 springs are more agressive than Eibachs, I believe the max tire size would be a 235. Im not too familiar with camber and rolling fenders to fit a fit a larger tire but I would refer to this thread right here. Its got lots of people who are running aggressive fitments so that you can get an idea.
