When my stock tires wear out, I'm thinking about going to a wider tire on my 08STI. I need to be able to mount them on my 18x8.5 SSR's. Will a 275/35/18 fit w/o problems? If so, can the fenders be rolled to accommodate them? Any advice?

 

Heres one running 295's

08s have TONS of room in the wells. If you need a roll, make sure to bring it to somewhere that knows how to do it on sedans/wagons

 

here was my old 08'

It was just for fun

 

/\/\/\ wow i normally hate it when the tires aren't perfectly flush, but that is awesome man. This one bends the rules! First car i've seen that I actually like the wider stance. Good job~!

 

yeah they have tons of room, should be able to run 275s without issues

josh (whiteghost2.5) ran 275 r comps at the subaru challenge and they didnt rub

 

Hmm... what can 08 Leggies run? On stock wheels I think I can get up to 235's (x35) but in general? anyone have a rubric or general knowledge?

 

Is an 8.5" wheel wide enough to handle a 275/35 tire?

 

that would be getting close. you should be able to run a 265, but idk about a 275

 

wider is better
