255 tyre on the rear or 245?
Quick question, i have ap2 Lowered on Eibach 1" wondering if i can get away with a 255/35/18 tyre for the rear.. wheel is 18X8.5, 43+ offset. Or should i stick to 245/35/18.. What u guys reckon?
S2000 wheel guide taken from this site:
For the rear:
235 tires: +40 offset minimum (7.5

Are your mudguards modified or standard? Are those figures from the Tire Guy? If so, they suggest you're risking a scrape or two with 245s and could possibly consider 235s.
However, if the look is more important than practicalities then try the 255s but avoid sharp corners & U-Turns.

depends on so many things, not all tyres are the same width...how much camber do you plan to run and do you mind rolling your guards? hmmm with more camber you can run 255s I'm sure, but do you want to run more? There are SO many variables!!!
