IdahoKidd Posted July 1, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 1, 2011 Looking at 245/45/16 on 16X8 wheels, +10, tokico struts and springs. Anyone see a red light with this set up? Already have the tokico's and the tires, ordering wheels tomorrow ( I hope).Leonard Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/40071-looking-for-issues-with-fitment/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Posted July 1, 2011 Share #2 Posted July 1, 2011 Tires seem a bit large to me, especially on the front. Pretty wide, and a bit taller than stock.

IdahoKidd Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted July 1, 2011 Wondered a little about that. Really concerned about the offset. Am told it will result in no rubbing issues. Don't want to waste a bunch of money......... Got the tires really cheap and I can replace those if necessary Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/40071-looking-for-issues-with-fitment/#findComment-360320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
beermanpete Posted July 1, 2011 Share #4 Posted July 1, 2011 We have 225/50-15 on 15x7" wheels. We also have the Tokico struts and springs. Needs to have about 0 offset to clear the springs. No interference with the fenders.Your plan with +10mm offset should be ok with the 245/45-16. You might have interference with the fender. Rolling the inside lip down might be enough extra room.

warcmalla Posted July 1, 2011 Share #5 Posted July 1, 2011 I have 16x8 +10 wheels with 225s. Just a few millimeters between tire and spring perch. Unless you have coil-overs I think you will rub spring perch. Maybe my tires are just really fat for their size, but I doubt 245s would have fit on my car without spacers and fender rolling.

madkaw Posted July 1, 2011 Share #6 Posted July 1, 2011 I believe I have several threads on this since I am running about that same set-up. I have 245/45/17's all the was around on 1" lowering springs-stock struts. s-30 9/71 I think on the rear you will work out perfect. I rub on the inner portion of the wheel well with my +4 offset wheels-8.5inch wheel. The +10 offset should help you clear that obstacle and there should be ample room on the perch--BUT this is on my 17" wheel set-up,sssoooooo it could be different. The fronts are going to be an issue. The +10 will put you right aginst the perch. I had to flatten the perch on one side for the tire to clear. It gave me 1/4" of clearance. You can gain a 1/4 to a half inch by flattening the perch because the springs have that much slop in the perch. You might need a spacer to get you off the perch. This a VERY tight fit with 245's, but looks bad as hell. Again, my car has 17" wheels, so it could be different for you. Also, I am in the process of slotting my rear towers to bring my camber in to clear the wheel well and it is working out well so far. I slotted the strut holes by 1/4" and it helped tremendously and my camber is still only 3/4 degree negative. Hope that helps. I believe I have a whole thread with pictures on Hybridz Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/40071-looking-for-issues-with-fitment/#findComment-360370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
