sup all i need rear tires reaally bad. Its been raining in so Florida for the past week and i can no longer drive my car because the rear end kicks out all the time

Anyways i got the 17inch 250z enthusiast rims for cheap 150 with good tires a few months ago...specs are 17x7.5 front and 17x8 in the rear. Sucky part is that i have 225-55-17 all around...on my s14. Tires are pretty big... i was wondering what size tire i should go with front and back..btw im not a stretch fan unless I need to.

i was thinking 235-45-17 for the rear and 225-45-17 for the front or maybe 225-45-17 all around..what do you guys think...I have stance coilovers btw.

my front rubs a little on big dips on the highway so take that into consideration

id be willing to roll my fenders if needed..

last thing is that i just bought 60mm nismo studs so i can run a spacers..

i want the best looking (no sunken battleship)/performing (no rubbing)

what do you think??? yes you.....

i think the sizes you are thinking of is good for your "non stretch"
but dreamn has good sizes too that will fit better if you're slamed

Front 215/45/17
Rear 235/40/17

20 mm spacers all around.

call me ignorant but ive never heard of running a different sidewall front to rear....:wtf: wouldnt that make the rear lower than the front... 45 in the front and 40 in the rear?

im thinking of running a 15mm or maybe a 20 spacer all around. i just want it to look somewhat flush but yet not rub. THANKS for your responses

would the original sizes i said rub with a 15mm spacer...225-45-17 s14?

You want to come as close to stock height as possible. If you run a 235/45/17 in the rear it will be to tall. Plenty of cars have different sized sidewall heights when running staggered setups.

The difference in height between the sizes I offered will be less than half an inch. Completely unnoticeable, but it keeps the sizes as close to stock as possible.
