tire help

[handinpants]

I have some new wheels the fronts are 17x9 +12 and the rears are 17x9.5 +12. I already have coilovers, and the car is not slammed to the ground, but it is lower than stock height. I want to know what width tires to put on the front and back, I prefer to have the back tires wider than the front tires. But I have not rolled my fenders, and I am not sure I am going to any time soon.

If anyone is running the same wheel size please respond!

...really?

umm check the wheel fitment thread dude. there are TONS of people running the same or very similar fitment...

You're a premie... you should know better...

[cc4usmc]

^ Ditto. ... .. ... .. ...

Yeah , Steve your a premie you should know better. I've been searching in that thread and so far what i've found out. You can go 215/40 or 45 on the front. If you wanna be real gangsta go 205/40 lol.

For the rear? not sure but probably a 225/40 or 45. Thats if you want to stretch hehe.

Oh and about rolling it only helps you so you can run fatter wheels. I think you mistake it with Pulling. But hit me up dude I know a place for rolling.

I run a 205/40 on my 17x9 fronts. Works perfect with stock fenders. Id do a 225/45 rear.

[drifter_for_life06]

kind of depends what you want to do with the car? you want it to look good, and have the drift look or are you trying to get the best grip possible with a lot of rubber? basically comes down to if you want to stretch the tire or not

[SoCal-s130]

He doesnt have much of a choice with stock body.

[DreEzed]

Yeah , I was thinking of runnin 205/40 all around on 17x9's. Just worried about the beads.
How long have you been driving on them for?

I heard that 215 rubs a little?

[SoCal-s130]

Forever. Rub what? Fender? Nope thats why I run 205s. Depends on your offsets too.

[handinpants]

i don't want it to look all ghetto sticking out, like those people who have trucks and stick a super low offset wheel on them, and they stick out... thats wack. I need to get a wide body fender kit

on the front i have 225/45/17 on a rim that is 17x7 +35
and on the back i have had 235s but right now i am running 225/45/17 on a 17x8 rim +35

I want to run 225/45/17 on a 17x9.5 +12 wheel, how can i make it fit

This is the worst thread ever. Just go look at the fucking wheel fitment whore thread. Jesus christ, do you really need to be spoonfed THAT badly? Holy shit man, stop being lazy and do some goddamn research.


Just to be a little helpful, you won't need wide fenders for those sizes, and it won't look like a Mexicali-spec pickup truck.
