My fenders were rolled and pulled for the 18" Work Equips that I had on the car prior.

Only two companies make a 225 & 245 in 35 series, Falken & Hankook. However I wouldn't recommend them. After having them on the car, its easy to see that the 35 series tires are too short.

For my next set I'm going to go with 40 series. still not sure if I'm going to stay 225/245 or upsize the width as well and go 235/255.

oh i thought you had posted you had 255 35 on the back ok so they are 245 35, got ya! yeah for the front i would do 225 40, but maybe the back 245 35 its not that bad if you run 9" rims , not 9.5" so your right...

cool thanks

Honestly the best combo to run would be 225/45 F and 255/40 R. If you go to 235 on the front a 40 isn't too bad though either, but if it's 225 you want 45 height.

hey guys i have 17x9 +45 all around. i wanna run an offset of something in the low 30's. what spacers would you guys recommended? i guess i'm asking if spacers with extended studs would work or if i have to get new studs and replace my factory ones and just use a spacer?

i find the offset is perfect as is, i would instead, try to run a bigger tire like 235-255

or have a try at 255 all around like me , youll need to play with ajustments, but at least youll gain some traction, vs just running spacers

I would like to run these specs

Rear 17x9 +35 255/40 camber -2.45

Will the tyres stick out alot ?

well i already ordered 215/40 tires all around. i'm trying to go for a flush look. i know our rpf1's dont have the holes to accommodate the factory studs, but do they have the crevice to accommodate the factory studs?

will these work...
