@TyperRspec789's car on 225/45/17 was scary with 312hp.
Well yes, hence the thread, and I think the proper term is foot print. I wasn't planing on running the stockers, I don't like to strech tires so 8 would put me around 235, where 9 245/255. Foot print increases with diameter of rim as well but I want to stay 17"
