245 17's? I didn't think they would fit on the front.... I am running 205/40/17's at all fours on my N/A. They are a little too low pro...wish I'd of gotten 205/45's. I've always been told that you can only get up to 205's on the front of a 2nd gen non-turbo without spacers.... is that true? If not, I'd like to go 215/45's next time. With the 205's, I barely have any clearance against the strut to run wider up front.

Your right, I have 225/45/17... havent even washed the car in a month and a half, fucked if I remember, lol. I had wanted to put 245 in the rear, but I went with 225 all the way around.

What offset are your 17's and are you running any spacers? I'd get 215's or 225's next time if I know they'll fit...



Thanks.

im running 205/55 r16 toyo proxies on mine. they handle great untill i get into some really bad ruts. and up here in alaska we have quite a few bad ruts. other than that they handle the best dry. get them wet tho and i get no traction, like being on ice.

you can defintely run 225's up front... they dont rub at all... with a 16'' rim... considering a lower profile 17 you should still be able to run 225's and wider in the back if you feel the need

I honestly do not know the offset, I told the guy 88 mazda, and thats what I got. All I know is the tires are 225/45/zr17 all the way around, I didnt go staggered in the rear
