these are my wheel sizes:
front 17x8 +35 rear 17x9 +34 current tires are: front 235/45 rear 255/40 is that as wide as i can go? thanks |
the tire sizes you have are good. i wouln't go any bigger on those wheels.
now just buy some new tires https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png |
i agree.... for the size of your rims, the tires in your rims are good..... if you really wanna go bigger, then maybe 265 rears
|
i would go 225/45 and 255/40
but that is me |

what about Kumho Ecsta SPT? i would go for the proven MX. the SPT is a new tire and would be somewhat of a gamble. the SPT looks more like an all season then something oriented for more sport driving like the MX. |
since your car is pretty much a daily driver and a fast one at that... and also putting into consideration that wider tires tend to hydroplane more frequently...
why dont you look into goodyear gsd3 they're pretty sticky for street tires (vosko has tried them on my car) and they are great when its wet also. no power steering and 255's up front isnt such a great idea since you're already complaining about your steering now, and i dont know bout 255's on 17x8" rims |

hmm, i guess youve never went to change a tire in elizabeth....... we can "go for no" here bob |
225 or 235 on 8" rims. With the 9" rim, you can fit a 275 Nitto on there. 275 BFG comp T/A (or equivalent BFG) will stretch too much IMO but can be done (and has been done by me). For other manufacturers, 265 or lower for the 9's.
|
275 will be slightly taller and may need fender rolling. Those are approximately the same as my Volks. I think i'm +32 in front and +35 in the rear and run 225-F/255-R which is ok for street but dropped for track requires fender rolling. You can fit Toyo T1S in 235 & 265 ok.
|
rear offset +35 with 9" rim and a 275 Nitto and a 275 BFG comp TA I NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER got fender rubbing. NEVER. I had coilovers to adjust height. when I slammed it to the ground. I never ever ever ever ever ever ever got fender rubbing. Never.
|
^ That's good to know because I was thinking of getting 18x11.5 instead so I can throw on 315's but 275's may suffice for the time being. Anyhow, it was my fronts that rubbed or I should say they pulled out the inside lip of the fender when I had it slamed to the ground with 225/40-17's.
|
run a +35 on the front. I don't have it "slammed" but I never rubbed on the front with 235's 8J rims.
