Default Tyres for rims

Hey all,

Chasing suggestions for the 'best' tyre sizings to suit Rota Grids in 18 x 9.5. Also, how mental is a +20 offset going to be on a pignose STI?

Cheers

This makes me ashamed to have a "pignose" STI.

I recommend doing a lot more research.

It will look exactly like this:



Google took 0.32 seconds to find me the NAISOC thread I stole that image from.

mine is 18x9 +22 (05 STI) Rota boost
Guards has been rolled, grinded and bashed out wee bit

Im on 235 now but was on 245.. it was too wide for the rears, without needing to bash out the guards some more and look like turd

fitting 4 people will make the rears rub on hard bumps one of two person is fine - rims dont rub on hard turns compared to the oem STi rims

and you need more than 2.7 deg camber on the rears
makes the rear real taily + dccd = almost rwd in the rain

If you are stock height no need to do any of the above or "to that extend" should be fine like the pignose post above me
If you want the "look" and have mexican spec rims and with a 4wd spec height... really needs to be dump on it ass and guard be cm's from the rims/tyre
