im ordering 50mm pj flares for my hatchback and was wondering what tire size i should order for 17x10 -13 all around. the wheels are most likely gonna be 17x10 +12 fn01rcs with 25mm spacers all around unless i can find some used wheels in low offsets.

i was thinking either 245/45-17 all around, 245/40-17 all around, or 245/45-17 in the back and 245/40-17 in the front. whats sounds best? or does anyone else have any other ideas. any help is appreciated.

245/35 is retarded, load rating in the 80s... wack. combo breaker that on a 10J and it would handle like a kia. not to mention look wack on arch flares.

245/45 is pretty gargantuan sidewall for the "stretch" it would have.

245/40 or 255/40 all around would look best on arch flares. Unless you go nuts and do that 275/305 stagger like the PDM car... that was pretty decent looking, even though its not really my style of car.

235/40 or 245/35

prob gonna need more spacers than 25 if thoes flares are actually 50mm wider than the stock metal
