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

 

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

 

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

 

who said 255 on the front.... lol i said to go smaller 225/45 and paco needs to fix EVERYTHING on his car..... how he hasn't died driving it is a miracle



i don't even really remember driving your car. that was when it had like 100hp..... ??



i have heard those goodyears are nice but expensive !

 

remember it was jsut as fast as mazdamike's car that was running perfectly....except mine had a funky boost transition issue.



sorry i read it as 255 instead of 225.. hehe



and the goodyears are cheaper than so3's lol

 

2 reasons...

A: maybe im a good driver

B: i drive slow



im gonna go with B.





ohh, and i got a fourth of everything, just need some garage time to install it.

 

where can i get some metal valve stems?
