~$4k, yes stock suspension. Does not rub at all, and no way will a 255/40/18 ever rub on a +45 9.5” wheel. Lower offsets it will get more risky. Lower than +40 with these tires risks fender work in the rear with every millimeter reduced.dude nice car and i love the wheel and tire set up. if you dont mind me asking how much was it for the wheels and tires all together? are you on stock suspension and if so any rubbing?
Awesome thanks!~$4k, yes stock suspension. Does not rub at all, and no way will a 255/40/18 ever rub on a +45 9.5” wheel. Lower offsets it will get more risky. Lower than +40 with these tires risks fender work in the rear with every millimeter reduced.
I think this is these are ultimate wheel & tire size sizes for a stock suspension FK8 if you want no rubbing and no fender work.
Really happy with the height. I hate lowering cars, even moreso now that I've gotten older. 255/40/18 will help with the visual height appearance. 265/40/18 will show even less gap.I've been looking for a build thread exactly like this. Essentially OEM+. Really love what you've done with the car so far. I don't have a FK8 yet (currently in an FA5), but I'm planning on getting one. I remember seeing one up close at a dealership and thinking that it looked decently low in stock form. Some angles of yours with the TEs make it look low enough, while others make it look a little higher, like the rear quarter angle. Are you satisfied with stock height? I'm fairly confident that I'm at the stage in my life where I'm ok not really lowering and heavily-modifying my ride.
