GSR rims on RA

[pbassist12]

Would i need to roll my fenders or would they fit with the stock tires ??

Yes on rear fender roll. no for stock tires on gsr wheels unless you want to stretch the side wall of the tires. you'll need 245/40/18 tires for gsr 18x8.5 wheels.

You could also do 235/40-18 on the 8.5 inch wheels with a little stretching, but it's best to do 245's.

225's work great on GSR rims. If you go 245, you are REALLY asking for tire damage if you are lowered. I have GSRs and 225s, and mine rubbed BAD before rolling. Even with rolling, it's close.

You didn't have them rolled enough. This is not an incredibly aggressive setup. OP, go with 245's and have the fenders rolled. You won't have a problem.

yes, 245s or 235s. i went with 235/40 on a 8.5in wheel, rears rolled on most bumps/dips. got them rolled and haven't had a problem since

Stretch tires are not for me.
Stretch tires are not good for performance driving.
I have seen stretch tires roll off the rims during hard cornering. lol.
Im sure it all depends on the amount of stretch vs corning momentum. :rolleyes:

+1. I'm lowered about 2" all around with 245/40's and rolled fenders. You can clear them no problem.

What's your rear camber set at?

[MTZL]

mine is stock suspension rear fender rolled. No camber stock.
245/40/18 Nankang NSII all the way around (Cheapest/the best tires I can afford) :rolleyes:
No rubbing problem so far.
Many low riders use smaller tire with stretch to go lower.
Im afraid of my tires rolling away from my wheels.

Negative camber wear out tires wayy too fast for me.

I had to roll al four since im on tein springs. I had goodyear tires and they were real bulky so thats why I was rubbing switched from that to some falkens and the problem of rubbing in the rear even after they were roled went away. Also gonna have to get the rear bumper clip shaved down a bit since thats where I was rubbing if you have springs like teins. If your on stock height you should be fine. I will p;ost a pic up when I get back home since I am on lunch break right now.

What's your rear camber set at?

Whiteline rear camber kit only allows +/- 0.5 degrees of adjustment. Set to as positive as possible, I'm running -1.0 camber in the rear.
