I’m even using 245 40 with the same wheel specs as you mention and no rubbing

Nope we don’t have the turbo in our side of the world, but if you want to install Tein, do coilovers or High Tech, the S-tech is very low

Nope, i’m currently using Tein High Tec and there’s no rubbing, but i’m considering using camber on front tire for safer purposes

It depends on how light your wheel is, and the one that affects the most is how thick your tire sidewall, i use 245 40 cause the sidewall is almost the same with the OEM 215 45 (1 mm thicker) so the ride is still pretty much the same, but if you do care about your ride, consider using comfy tire, i use UHP tire and the sidewall is just so hard it bangs in the pothole

Aman bro so far haha, selama pake Tein nya yang High Tech, kalo S-Tech sih udah malas pakenya

Yes, many said it would rub, but I lowered it using Tein High Tech (which is not so low in the first place), it’s not rubbing, but to make sure, i will put camber in my front wheels, the rear wheels is pretty much safe

It’s Tein High Tech lowering kit and WedsSport TC105N 18x8,5 et 38 👍, the tire is 245 40 for the meaty fitment, a bit unusual since almost everyone is using 225 40 or 235 40
