I'm about to purchase a set of TSW Nurburgrings for my AP1 and I've heard it's possible to fit 9" all around. Is this really possible? If so, could I fit 245/275 tires or would I have to go smaller? I'm on stock suspension.

Sort of related, what are the best performance all season tires for under $550/set?

 

I was once on 18x9 +20 all around with 235/40/18 tires, i don't see why this would be a problem

 

They will fit, checkout the STR prep thread in the R&C sub-forum. Most are running 17x9+63 with 255's square and no fender rolling.

 

On stock suspension? I'm going to get coilovers next but it needs to be able to work for now too.

 

I have the same setup and im 1 inch lowered. slight rubbing in the front only on big bumps but a slight fender roll will fix that.

 

i was lowered on espelir springs with koni yellows on low perch at the time
now im on 17x9 +22 / +35 with 235/40/17 tires, slammed on coils
goodluck

 

Yeah a little front rubbing on the fender liner from time to time. If I can help with the tires let me know.

 

Please dont listen to stooki for advice other than what NOT to do with your car. I doubt you will have rubbing with that offset, although sometimes people rub on the control arm or inner fender liner. If you max out the camber you'll probably be ok. I would run 255/35/18 all around. Any reason you dont want the 17x9s? Tires are significantly cheaper.

 

I was going to buy wheels and tires before coilovers but I've decided to wait and do it all at once, properly. I just have to save up twice as much money. I may end up with 17s but I'm going to be stanced when I do this.

 

255s either rub or require rolling. I know of at least one car that messed up their fender running 255s without rolling. 245s on the front should be fine.
