This mostly because of springs (and not coil overs), right?

After some photoshoot session

x1UP · 12-13-2014, 09:00 PM

Would anyone happen to know if Falken ZE950 (245/45/17) on stock STI Series.Blue rims would fit on everything stock?

Without rubbing anything?

I have no mods on suspension, coils or anything. Just stock.

Any help would be appreciated!

Question for you guys!
I think I read somewhere from the forum that Hankook Evo12 is thinner(more like narrower in width?) than comparable tires from other brands.. is that true?

I ordered a set of Gramlights 57c6 in 17x9 40+ and I wanted to know if I could fit 255/40/17 instead of 245/40/17 all around.

Any help or advices on proper tire fitment would be appreciated!

255s should fit at et 40. Will fit for sure if you have coils.

Looks good man! I wanted to do that same setup.

What suspension do you have on?

What's your setup as far as suspension? Also are you running LCA's?

texasbound972 · 12-24-2014, 11:04 PM

Need some help. Want to run the widest tire possible in the rear without too much poke. I'm currently on KW V3's with a Vorschlag top hats. I also want to stick with 17" wheels. Car is currently getting a short block built by Crawford Performance and I didn't get my alignment done due to the engine blowing up the day after the coils were installed.

You'll really need 18s to go 265/275 wide. 255s is pretty much as big as you can go on 17s.

What's your power goals? 255s all around might yield the best handling results regardless.
