Lex Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I think 255 is way to fat for 9.5j. I would use 225, even the 235 would help. Looks better than the other wheel tho but still needs lowering. I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, my other wheels got 225 tires and I've got 3 pages of negative comments, now using OEM is fat? I thought 255/35/18 came on 8.5J as standard First I need to sort the rubbing problem as I don't want to get smaller spacers, then I may get something to lower it, coilovers or springs.

DEVIL 666 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I'm not Nothing wrong with a small stretch (if you need), as you got rubbing now thats why I said I would try 225/40. Looks good on 9.5j nice stretch, would be better than the wide 255 tyre. Yes the 255/35 the standard size on 8.5j but everybody knows they are too wide for the 8.5j.

Jay. Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 as above 225/40 is best suited to a 9.5 for a small stretch.225/35 looks w**k on anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I had 225/40 before with a nice little stretch, but as long the car it's not lowered, you know that it looks w**k with stretched tires and arch gap, isn't it? At least now the tires fill the arches, after rolling them I should have no more rubbing problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay. Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 but as long the car it's not lowered, you know that it looks w**k with stretched tires and arch gap, isn't it? I cannot fathom any sense out of this. Ashley1995 and Daz 330 Cs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das_flo Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I have 225/40 on 9.5's and I'd say it's a little more than mild. I'd be tempted by a 235/35 Falken I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melv1958 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Nice thread, a 255 on 19s with 20mm spacers is gunna be a massive push even with rolled arches Drop to a 235 and your clear and slam it, ride height looks a little high for my liking. Lovely motor though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Got new tires as the 255 are bald after few burnouts and moved to 235/40/18. Also looks like I will get coilovers sooner than I wanted after finding out this. Edited August 18, 2015 by Lex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
