Help With Tire Sizes
#1
I plan on buying these this summer, well asap.
Volk te-37s
I want to run 265/17's in the rear, what size will fit? 265/40/17s? I don't want to run spacers/or roll the fender I heard 265s will fit back there....
265s will fit on a 9.5" rim right? Or is that rim size too wide to be stuffed back there? maybe I should go with a 9"? Will 265s still fit safely on a 9" rim? What offset Do i need for this? +35mm?
For the front, what is the biggest size I can fit? I heard 225s are good, then again what size firewall should I get 40? 35?
heres a link to what Im looking @ rims
I plan on getting some of those potenza s03 pp, is anyone using those? I want some grippy performance on the road. This will be my street setup....
I plan on getting an extra set of rims/slicks for the rear for the track... any reccomendations on size/brands etc?

i dunno i run 225/45 up front and 255/40 in the back.... its plenty of meat and looks good. that is on a 17x8.5 and 17x9.5 rim. i heard the S02's are better than the S03's. i wouldn't with the largest tires you can get.... just so you don't have to worry about the rubbing issues

I have 225 all the way around now. There is lots of room in the back but up front its pretty close to the spring. But I also bought the 225/60/15 yokohama's that were on close out at the Tire Rack so my setups kind of weird. Having that much sidewall is not very appealing but oh well, the tires have improved the handling over the 195's that were on it.

235/40 will fit on 17x8 in the front. 265/35 will fit on either 17x9 or 17x9.5 in the rear. 255/40 on 17xwhatever will probably be the best bet to fit and most selections to choose from. Different tires are different widths even if they all are 255 section widths. Check the manufacture specs if you are not sure if it's going to be a close call.
18's with stock brakes? I'm just assuming that the brakes will be stock. With 18's on a FC with stock brakes it makes the rotors look rather silly. 17's aren't too bad. You have to remember that these brakes are the same brakes that fit 15's.
