just got some ssIX wheels from tkrskyline, and they came with 245/40/18's on them but they are race slicks and DEFINITELY wont fit with my current springs (tein s-techs) im wondering if it is because the slicks are unusually thick because they are slicks OR because they are 245's and no matter what that size tire isnt going to fit- any advice will help thanks a bunch -chad

 

its the type of tire. a 245 tire in x brand may not be the same as another 245 tire in y brand. tires differ greatly from brand to brand and more so with slick/race tires.
case in point: i am runnin 255/40/18 on my 06 sti with cobb springs and it fits just fine.

 

drag slick? and with stock axles im guessing eeeek

 

im not using the slicks... just came with the wheels- im just looking for guidance on how big i can go with the tires- wider the better

 

if you want to throw those slicks this way ill take them

 

lol make me an offer

 

255/35/18 would work.

 

oh nvm i didnt see the 18 part im still rocking 17s

 

Hmmmmm.....
If they are still around next month those 245's would go very nicely on the wagon.
What brand tire are they & model?

 

Nitto NT-01 DOT R 245/40/18
