Im doing 215/45/17 all round.... Waiting for car to be returned from paint! I went 45 series to fill up well and make larger than stock. 40 series look to small. Will check back when completed

 

Good call.. I went with 40 series when I got mine not knowing any better and they look like rubber bands.. just doesn't look right on an FC.

 

I'm like to suggest the mariah over fenders in the front instead of the corksport. The quality of corksport body parts are crap and i don't like the idea of replica parts. If you don't know FCs the mariah fenders will look exactly like stock but will let you run 255s up front. Right now i am running a staggered 17x8/9 with 37 offset 235 45 front 255 45 rear. For my next setup i am planning 17x9 all around with 255 40s I'll only have to buy two new wheels.

 

Max confirm sizes are



17x9 + 35 mm offset 235/40/17 tire

17x10 + 35 offset 275/35/17 tire on rear



17x9 + 35 mm offset is a bit tight... if you bottom the suspension out you will rub something.





The best combo is:



17x8 + 35 mm offset on 235/40/17 tire

17x9 + 35 mm offset on 255/40/17 or 265/40/17 tire (rare)



note even 235/40/17 tires are a bit hard to find. THe only ones are:

Toyo T1-S

S03

Dunlop SP 9000 and 8000

Michelin Pilot sport

PZERO Asym, and NERO but NERO does not have 255/40/17 or 265 or 275

AVS sport



My advice is 225/45/17 and 255/40/17 on kumho MX. I have heard good things about kumho and they are cheap. You are only scraficing 10 mm which is 1 cm. Very little in the grand scheme of things.
