Default Those with Rota D2's.......

What size tires are you guys running that have Rota D2's. I will be lowered on Tein S Techs and want to run a 225/40/18 and a 255/35/18. I don't want any rubbing issues. I don't like the way the 245 sits on the 9" rear rims so I hope the 255 will be OK. Also, do you need wheels spacers and if so does anyone know the D2's hub bore diameter and the stock hub diameter?

It will probably rub either way, roll your fenders or run a little more negative camber. You don't need spacers, that would make the wheel stick out further and rub worse. They won't be hubcentric, you can run them as is or get hub centering rings.

i would say 215/40 in front and 255/35 in rear....you are more likely to rub upfront w/ 225

you'll be fine with 255 in the rear

Ever get around to fitting these? I've got the same exact setup (S-Techs + Rota D2's) and was considering running the same tire sizes...any more input, anyone?

Hmmm I have Rota D2's with a tein h-tech drop with 225/40/18 up front and 255/35/18 out back with no rubbing issues.

I'm also interested to know what tire sizes/combinations will still fit. I need new rears and I currently have Falken Ziex's all around and they don't make it in 255/35 anymore. Is it ok to mix the front and rear sets of tires?

Im running 215/40/18 fronts and 245/35/18 rears, plenty of room to run 255's on the rears which is what im going to do once i need to change the rears and go to 225's on the fronts!

Im lowered 1inch all around, plenty of room.

Lowered on Tein S-Techs, with 225/40/18 in the front and 255/35/18 in the rear. I ran the euro spec alignment. I'm having slight rubbing issues in the back, with hard cornering, and very occasionally along bumps on the freeway/street. Considering rolling the fenders...but not too sure about the rear bumper tab relocation or whatever.
