havent gotten tires. what size do you think. i was looking at 235/40-17

Fast1One

225...its not THAT stretched

bottombunk

i dont want them streched. i would like them to fit well

Fast1One

Than go with 285 235 sounds about right...You wanna rotate right?

bottombunk

also if i do a 225/40 i dont think you can even get any tires that size and if you could i know its limited

JVD

For 9" wide wheels 245's fit perfect. They are nearly flush with the rim. 235's is starting to get stretched but I think it is the perfect balance. It has just the right amount of curve on the sidewall to tuck properly and it is still fairly wide.

245/40 or something else?

JVD

I'd go 245/45/17 in the rear and 235/45/17 in the front.

those are too big. thats a 5% difference in tire size from stock, which is hard on the brakes and the speedo is too far off.

JVD

Boohoo! Enjoy tiny gay looking wheels/tires then. Have you noticed how small stock tires look? Even if you drop it, it still looks like crap. You ask for suggestions and then disagree. Looks like you know what you want already.

no i asked for suggestions. but the one you gave me i did the math and it is 5% off which is too far off. thats all. i appreciate your input. its funny, i respond intelligently and you give me crying. and no i dont know what to get exactly. i just know that doesnt work.

JVD

Please let me know how,"it doesn't work." You just bought 17" wheels and now you want to put stock sized tires on. Why? They will simply not fill the wheel wells properly. You spend this much money on your car thus far and then get stock size tires. I'd like to see a side view of your car so I can see what the stock size looks like. I will photoshop it and you can see what it'll look like.

Go to the drift unit forums and see how wheel wells should be filled.

im just basing this on what the tire calculator says. it says if you go over 3% of the original size it can cause brake failure and the speedo will be off. the size you said is 5% over, i dont really care about the speedo being off. but if my brakes have to work harder i am concerned with that. i dont want to have upgraded brakes only to have it help cause tire size as opposed to speed. i have q45 brakes, had i known that the tire size would have that affect i would have gotten bigger brakes. thats all im concerned with.

silviadriver

quit being a damn *****. you ARE crying. your already working ur brakes harder by the fact of buying 17" rims which are bigger and have more mass.

if u complain about the speedo being off, go get it set to ur wheels. but you act like that really matters. "oooh wow im drivign and my speed is off by 3mph! OOooooohhhh NNnooooOOOooossss"

you have q45 brakes for goodness sakes! it is a ****load better than stock and not as good as 300zx. ur whole 3 5% crap applys to STOCK BRAKES. do you have stock brakes? in a sense you do BUT they are NOT stock for the car! which means your brakes are an improvement.

you actl ike 5% is gonna kill u or something. 1000000000000000000000 of people run it and are fine.

go with watever the hell tire size u want because obvsiously every suggestion that was given to you, you did not want.

in a sense you ALREADY did pick what you want. u want tires that are close to 3%, so then pick tires that are close to it. wat suggestions do you need then.


JVD: if he wants to make his wheels look gay. let him juss be glad u arent rocking it.

hey sivliadriver i dont know a lot about tire sizes, hence asking. also i was about to ask jvd if 235/45 all around would work. and read the my response i said the speedo is not a big deal. watch what you say to poeple as in me. you need to talk with a little more decency on a forum. yea yea i know its the internet and you can say what you want without being beaten to within an inch of your life, but damn dude were all on this forum to help each other. if you dont like what you read and cant say anything without coming off like an *** then dont post. i didnt realize i would be working the brakes that much harder by getting bigger wheels. i didnt realize that it wouldnt effect the brakes that much by getting bigger tires. and as for making up my mind already, wrong i havent even bought tires yet. i realize jvd knows more on this subject than i do and you do to. hence me asking for help.
