17x9 +43 Volk CE28 with 235/40/17 tires can fit stock shocks?
 

I’m quite positive they won’t, but need some confirmation.

Also does 235 series tires look stretched for 17x9 wheels? I’ve run 245 tires with this size wheel before but worry that 235 will look stretched. I’m buying a set of CE28 which come with 235/40/17 tires.

I think that they may fit. But just. Otherwise, you will need 3mm slip spacers for the front. The rear will have lots of room.

It depends on what 235/40 tire you get, on how stretched it will look. (a bit stretched, to none)

There are 235 tires that measure 245.

In the wheel directory, there is info on these specs.

Like these, which are 17x9 +42 (i know it says +45 on the title, but they are +42) They fit stock suspension on some cars, and need a 3mm slip on others. Yours will fit the same. (you may want the 3mm spacer, if it's really close)

They will not due to tire.

Why would you ever put 235 on a 9" wheel?
Wait never mind. Hellastance bs.
Carry on.

I can taste the salt.

What?


235/40/17 are rare, like only 9 on tirerack. most are race tires, and have a tread width of 8.5", hardly a stretch, and not even close to hella-whatever your talking about.

like these... check it out!

Those are not "race" tires. But eh, close enough.
You do know tire rack is not the only tire shop online? There is actually a boat load of other sizes on many many tire sites.

Chances are you can find odd ball tire sizes that tire rack will not carry.
As good as tire rack is, they are just like any local tire shop. They stock up on the current popular tire sizes.

My MR2 has a 9" rear wheels and I don't want anything less than a 255 on them.

And salty??? Must be a little kind lingo. And by little kid I mean 20 something's
Either call me a **** or an ass. :drool:

I regularly put 225 on a 9".

:suicide:

Maximizing contact patch within a set of rules...

What's the problem here?

There is nothing about this thread thats hella stance. First his volks are Too high of offset to fit. ( The opposite of stance!)

Second, with a 3mm spacer, the wheels will fit, but with barely any room. No room to add camber = Not-stanced!

And a 235, is barely stretched on a 9.

For all intents and purposes, 235 on a 9" wheel is within tire manufacturer specs!

I actually never used the term "salty". I said "I can taste the salt". I think it's funny that you act as though you're too old to understand the definition of the word in the context, when you yourself are the one who actually used it in said context. Swing and a miss.

But yeah, you're crying over spilt milk. Spoiled milk at that.

225/45 on 17x9
