One perk of 265/40 is tire selection. They are use on BMWs, so there are some sporty tires available in that spec. I’m a big fan. I was worried they would look stretched on a 9.5, but they aren’t. I’ll snap a pic on lunch and upload it for viewing.

265/40 on a 9.5 et 45 wheel. Don’t mind the OEM brake dust. Plenty of tire for a 9.5.

MkIV Supra OEM rear wheels were 9.5 x 17 with 255/40/17s. I wouldn't go narrower, but it still looks OK. Smaller diameter rim helps a lot too.

My current normal driving height setups. With Airlift3H suspension I can change my ride height and dampening as needed depending on roads conditions with in matters of minutes. And with Figs LCA there is noticeable difference in NVH.


Typical ride height


This is my lowest driving setting when on perfectly smooth roads


Rear shot yes I'm parked in the handicap parking spot, because I'm handicap now, my ISF is in better shape then me LOL

Now that that you see my different ride heights from different angles hopefully it helps with recommendations

Just like this shot

They are TE37 Sagas. Hands down my favorite wheel. I’ll post clearer pics today. They don’t poke, but the angle I shot at was to capture tire bulge and rim protection, and it does oddly look like they are a much lower offset in those pics. I’ll get front and top down pics to show true placement. I think you could tuck on a 45 offset, but they are still a low enough offset to widen stance and fill the fender wells. I went with the 45 so I could lower without fender mods and still run lots of tire.

So 275/35 square fits perfectly, no spacers exact same wheels as JWC. Toyo R888Rs are 4mm wider than the Mich PSS, this reduction is all on the inside shoulder. Approx 6mm control arm clearance with the Mich, 3mm with the Toyo. Car feels much more planted when pushing hard and a smoother ride when not. Thanks for the input folks, well happy.

Is there anyone running a square 18 inch Enkei GTC01RR setup on their ISF? I like the look of this wheel and the the price is preety good. They are also quite light and strong it seems. They are also offered in 18 X 9.5inch with a 45 offset so they should fit our cars, but I cant seem to find any ISFs with these wheels, Just wondering if anyone knows if there will be a clearence problem with the brake caliper or any other problems with fitment?? Thanks

Not exactly the same, but I've (red ISF) got Enkei PF01 18X9.5 +45 with 275/35 square, lowered and no rubbing. A buddy of mine (black ISF) has Enkei GTC02 19x10 +40 square with 275/35.

I have no idea how your buddy runs those wheels with those tires. I have 275/35/19 on 9.5 with +51 and I had to trim my fenders to avoid rubbing.
