I just mounted up 245/35-18 on 18x8 45et wheel. Stock height, no rubbing

I called groundcontrol yesterday. By July they'll have a set of plates out

I use 225/40/18 Falken512s up front. There's a tiny bit of stretch so it just pulls the tire inwards. The 912s in the same size don't fit. 7.7" treadwidth vs 8.1... Tuckin tire on daily, near stock alignment specs:

PS Editted to add: yeah, I realize i have no where near the grip with 225 512s as you'd get with 255s -- that's pretty nuts.

so what's the performance impact of having 18x9 rears and 18x8 fronts? I also have the BSH RSB.

wider tires on rear of a FWD = understeer

if i wanted to run 245/35/18, 18x8 ET43, and 2" drop, will i need front camber plates?

how about if i wanted to run same specs, but ET50 instead of ET43?

 

[Dan GSR]

et50 would fit better than et43

 

[leegf]

but would ET43 be a problem?
