@JoeBoxer and I talked a bunch about wheels for my car before I bought them. His advice is good.

If you're cheap like me, go with 8" wheels because of the option of running 225/45/17.

There's also some thought that 225 on 8" will post better laptimes at stock hp (CSG Mike), and in theory you will retain more steering feel vs. 245 on 9".

I checked out the wheel fitment calculator. I'm looking at 17x8 with +42 offset. It looks awefully close. Anyone have any real world experience with this size?

This is a good option too, it's weird that most people with 17's have 9" width and most 18's are 8" width. I guess thats just what's available there are very few 18x9's out there and they would be getting up there in weight also.

When it comes to wheels/tires, it either fits or doesn't fit. Close is a subjective term.

You should be pretty safe in that size unless planning a huge tire. Lots of guys are running 17x9 +45 with 245 wide tires (some 255's) and although close to the strut, "it clears".

itdansharpe · 03-20-2013, 11:57 AM

Close is right... this is 18x8.5 +45 front, with a 245/35. I reached inside the rim, pointing straight up for this view.

BlaineWasHere · 03-21-2013, 03:03 AM

I've been running 17x9 et42 245/40/17 since about 1000 miles on the car. I'm at 24K miles now.

D1cker · 03-21-2013, 11:31 AM

17x9. you can still run a 225 on that, and the weight increase on the RPF1 is negligible.

crazyfrenchbiker · 03-21-2013, 04:11 PM

Would I be fine to run 225/35/19 in the front and 245/45/19 in the rear?

Aside from the obvious sidewall height differences, is there any other concern that I should be made aware of with offset tire sizes?

wparsons · 03-21-2013, 04:34 PM

If the diameter is too different, the VSC/TC systems might think one end is slipping, and under braking it could think one end is locking up slightly.

Why wouldn't you run 225/45 up front and 245/35 out back?

245/45/19 is WAY bigger than stock, to the point where it will look quite stupid.

Stock tires are 24.7" tall, 245/45/19 is 27.7" tall.

225/40/19 is 26.1" tall and 255/35/19 is 26" tall. Both are quite a bit taller than stock, but are closer to each other and won't cause issues from being too differently sized.

*edit* - Just saw the title, I think you mean staggered, not offset.

D1cker · 03-21-2013, 04:44 PM

the tires are way too tall and might not even fit in the rear. The car will be slow as shit as well because you're reducing the gearing by 12% with those tall tires.

My question is why are you even considering those sizes?

Edit: I should reply more quickly, WParson was a bit more eloquent

crazyfrenchbiker · 03-21-2013, 05:02 PM

The reason I am considering the tires is that I already have 4 of them. However it appears that I may be better off trying to sell them and get something a bit smaller.

eddieEndo · 03-22-2013, 07:05 PM

Need help !!! Im on stock suspension.
Want to run 18x8.5 +38 in the front and 18 x 9.5 + 38 in the rear! Want to run a square tire setup with no stretching for a daily driver
