I'm looking at a staggered set of wheels, and I am wondering what is the widest tire sizes that I can use without rubbing.

My car is a 91 Jspec TII swapped 5 lug, tokico blues, eibach springs. The wheels I'm looking at are 38mm offset and 18x8 (front), and 18x9 (rear).

If at all possible; I'd like to not have stretched tires on them. Any suggestions, experience to share would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

 

The front will be very close at that offset. I'd try to go to a +30 or +32 or get yourself a 5mm spacer. (All of this is assuming you will run a 225 tire up there, a 205 will probably clear the spring just fine)

 

I was thinking 215/40 in the front (slight stretch I can stand, but the ghetto lip sticking out I do not care for), and either 235/40 or 245/35 in the rear. I wonder if they would clear the springs and not get in the fenders. Would like to avoid having to roll the fenders if at all possible, I'm not sentimental about them, so if it must be done then I'm hype.

 

Any more suggestions, pictures, examples?
