Rota grid 17x9 +35

So I got a good deal on some rotas. Now I have to figure out what tires to run. I am thinking 235/40s in the front and 245/40s in the back. I don't want to much of a stretch. However, I also don't want to pull the fenders or run extreme camber in the front. I have plans to run kw v3 coil overs in the future in a 1.5 inch drop all around.so what are everyone's thoughts here id a teaser pic as well.

you really should be deciding on tires before rims but now that youre here, i recommend picking 4 tires of the same size.

Go for a square setup (same size tires everywhere). Makes it so that you can rotate your tires correctly and just makes your life easier overall. Plus you're lowering your car so it may look a little odd to have slightly larger tires in the rear. Up to you though. Just my .02

Went with a square setup of 235's all around. Will have pictures of them installed when things warm up its all little too cold for summer tires in my area right now.

Here is a picture in the table rock state park from today. All i can say is what a difference good tires make with the way the car handles.

how come you didn't want to go 235/40 front and rear?

careful s techs are terrible springs they are mostly just for show. also be aware lowering the car more than 1 inch on stock struts can do major damage go read up on it from RCE, dont want your suspension getting screwed up .

Haven't noticed them being terrible I have always run them on my 240s while I am saving up for coil overs. My long term goal is to run kwV3 coil overs.
