why such a tiny tire in the front? should have gotten a 245 for the 8.5"

Will a 235/45-17 on Enkei RPF1 (45mm offset) fit under stock suspension?

Last few pics make me realize I really need STI brembos.

dabocx · 07-13-2014, 10:06 AM

I ordered 265s after all. Cant wait to get everything on the car

eyedeez · 07-13-2014, 10:47 AM

255/35R18 RE11's on the way! So excite.

Ill be rebuilding my new set . BBS E28 ...magnesium centers, titanium retainers, centerlock ready :P .....theyre 18 x 11 and 18 x12 at the moment , but will rebuild them into 18x10 squared with +38 offsets after the 25mm adapters.

last pic is the comparison of the Michelins pss 255/35 tires vs 12" wide wheel

dmarkey · 07-16-2014, 02:27 PM

Love it! Can't wait to see the wheels finished and on the car.

Slick · 07-16-2014, 03:38 PM

F'in beautiful wheels.

I looked at the pics (specially front one) and for a sec I was like "how can that box hold up the car?" LOL

I figure this is as good a place to ask this as anywhere, definitely better than making a new thread. I like the meaty tire look so I'm thinking the perfect look for me would be a 245/40/17 on a 17x8 wheel. I know the preferred fitment is 245/40 on a x9, but that's not meaty enough for me. Yay or nay?

It may look a bit pinched depending on the width of the tire you choose. If you go for a naturally wide tire (AD08, ZII, RE11A, etc) it'll be pretty noticeable.

This is a 255 on a 8.5" wheel. I wouldn't want more pinch than this:

I like the way that looks, not sure what you mean by pinch but I'm guessing it has something to do with where the tire contacts the wheel. Either way, I was planning on getting PSS, which is 8.5" tread.

finally took some time to update that first post. if i missed anything let me know but it seems like all the info is there for people who want to stuff meaty tires and be 100% functional.
