If you widen them, yes +13 is the new offset, and you'll have to stretch a 215/40 on them.

To do so I should look for a wheel with a high offset and maybe 7 inches wide?
Im thinking a wheel thats 16 by 7 +45. So that you can have space to put bigger lips.
Basically if you want big lips you need a high et? Then you measure the size of the lips
that are currently on the wheel then order the new lips accordingly?
For every 1" you add it takes the wheel -12 lower et off the wheel.
For ever 0.5" you add it takes - 6 lower et off the wheel.
Is this correct? Any help would be great im a noob at this bbs rs building.

255/40 on a 9" = 10.4 section width.
Obviously inner clearance is the concern since fenders will need serious work.Need parts now? Need them cheap? steve@blunttech.com

I am looking for a wider tire in the rear without stretch and would like to keep with a 40 series tire, so what if I used a 8.5" barrel (I found a set) and a 1" lip for an ET 51 (I think). Can I get an inch or two wider rear tires compared to the fronts to fit.

Hey, quick question about 15x8 and 15x9 staggered vs square 15x9 setup. Finally scraped together some cash to get something besides stock weaves, and I'm wondering if a 15x9 et0 square setup will look like shit without spacers, and if so what would you guys recommend for spacers in the back?

Ok, thanks to you guys I had my setup perfect; 16x8.5 k1 et27 wrapped in 245/35/16 T1r rear and 215/45/16 fronts.
The car is now 95% track use running hsax events and the class I run allows tires with a wear rating of 140, which is a lot better than the 280 the T1r's come in at.
I am having a really hard time finding any tire with a 140 rating in 245/??/16. Any suggestions?
Fenders are rolled flat and slightly pulled, with 10mm spacer front and 5mm rear. The toyos fit beautifully, but I do have room for a wider tire up front and taller aspect all around. I went with 215 fronts to match the OD of the 245s out back.
Open to new size combos as long as my grip is improved over all.
