ok im going to run 17x9 +35 offset with 10mm spacers front and rear thus giving me a + 25 offset now im thinking a 235/40/17 in the front and a 275/40/17 in the rear stock suspension .rear tires i was thinking are nitto 555 and the front nitto 450 . if you know of any other tires i can actually match same brand and type in these sizes please post .

 

If your wheels are the same size, why do you want to go with staggered size tires?. Also IMO 235's are way too small for 17x9 wheels, I have to 225's on my 17x7's.

 

235 is exactly 9.25 inches on a 9 inch rim to me a perfect fit .

 

what kind of motor work do you have done? and why do you want such wide tires in the back?

 

i got 285/40 in the rear and 245/40 in the frong and no rubbing issues with a slight pull

 

well if he is doing any sort of grip... wider is better

 

look at his signature. . .

 

Better tires need less tire to = a bigger crappier tire...

Potenza RE-11's
Ecsta XS's
Direzza Z1 Star Specs

those are about some of the best tires you can get w/o going R-compound and still be DOT

I's run a 245/255 set-up Honestly

And I would also worry about getting that stock susp. out of there before trying to put the power down by getting wider tires...

 

ok i have traction problems as it is and yes i need c/o but that is not a choice for the moment . i can fit these rims on my car wit h stock coil , the lowering springs i have . But i can only do one thing at a time .And the car is off the ground .

 

+1 to all that, if you want grip get the XS's or Star Specs (same quality and grip as the RE-11's, but much cheaper). and I wouldn't go smaller that 245's on a 9" wheel (but wider is better, and way sexier IMO, so I'd be getting as wide as possible, or look for 8" wheels for the front).

 

why such a low profile??

 

i have stock suspension yes i could go more meaty in the rears but front will almost bef hit my strut and i may get some coils later this year .

 

Wheel spacers my friend

 

I really suggest going with the same tire size front and rear-- you are going to want the ability to rotate tires. 245/40/17 or 255/40/17 would be ideal. you are going to need spacers in the front either way.

 

Thats why im gonna run 10 mm spacers front and rear .

These are my summer tires And rims they may see 5000 miles on them during the summer.So if i need them rotated ill have them done in the winter .The ones in the pik above are going to be my winter set so the new ones dont have to see rock salt . As i posted in my op ->(ok im going to run 17x9 +35 offset with 10mm spacers front and rear thus giving me a + 25 offset now im thinking )
