I HATE the front wheel offset on my F sport. Is there anyone that has gone to a square set up with the stock rear wheels all around? Id like to hear what you have experienced (if they fit) and how it looks (pics)
I really like the stock wheels and would rather buy 2 new rears with tires than 4 aftermarket and new tires

am looking forward to some one trying this.

square setup, as in 225/40/18 for the front and rear?

255s on the front rims would bulge out a little too much though. Have you considered adding spacers to the front wheels to help give off the more squared look?

looks good.

any difference in handling?

should ride more comfortable as your side walls are taller now.

do watch your speedo, you will be driving faster than what's shown.

Thanks.
These are Conti DWS.
They came off my previous car.
Even they are at 60% they still handles much much better than the stock ER33

The side wall difference is minor (25.1" VS 25.7") 2.51%

Its still in the tolerable range

did you sell off your old tires?

i cant find anyone in my area to accept trade in for the ER33s. so gotta stick with them for the time being.

id like to have the 255's on the front as well just to keep it easy to rotate etc.
not sure if I like the ones pictured in the post because of the taller sidewall.
thanks for the input guys ill keep searching.

tires sizes don't exactly make it a square setup. typically square setups are all four wheels (rims) being of the same deminsion (all for being 18x8 or 18x8.5), and if you have symmetrical/asymmetrical tires, it helps with all four tire rotation.

the other type of square setup is like the one poster mentioned, having 18x8.5 in the rear and 18x8 with spacers in the front to give the "look" of a square setup. this only provides half the benefits bc you can only rotate your tires side-to-side.

if anyone has gotten a true square setup, either 18x8 all around--what mm spacer did you use to account for the .5 gap in width for the rear? same question if you did a square setup with 18x8.5 all around, what mm spacer did you use for the rear to account for the extra .5 inch push out in the front?

Thank you for sharing! I am thinking about to change the tyre size to 225/45/18 and 245/40/18 with Goodyear F1A2...

The one 245/40/18 looks nice without huge difference.

I saw a squared wheel set up on a 3iS white FSport in instagram a month or so ago. Can't seem to find it anymore.
