Would like to know as well

NickFRS · 06-12-2013, 03:55 AM

anyone?

kALMIGHTY · 06-12-2013, 04:15 AM

No pictures because I don't have my FR-S yet, and I'd be keeping stock tires for a while anyway, but I wouldn't go wider than 255's on an 17x8. If you like your current 235's, go for the middle ground and get 245's.

245/45/17 if you're looking for widest and tallest - id run a 245/40/17 though.

wparsons · 06-12-2013, 12:17 PM

245/40 is fine on an 8" wheel, but I wouldn't go wider. There's also no reason to go wider at all unless you're pushing a lot more power than stock.

thread jack...

is a 235/40/17 ok for a 17.7.5 wheel?

N_I_N · 06-12-2013, 12:45 PM

I'm running 245/40/17s on Enkei RPF1s 17x9 with a +45 offset. On the stock suspension.

NickFRS · 06-12-2013, 12:57 PM

@CBR600RR I run 225/40/17 on my 2013 impreza with 17x7

I was thinking of doing 245/40/17 as the new set up but wondering if anyone has done this yet....

DAMotorsports · 06-12-2013, 03:31 PM

We run 235/40/17 on the stock rim. It's a setup that the Honda Challenge have been running for years without any problems

If you took any time at all to look at the thread listing all the various wheel/tire posts you would see LOTS of people running 245/40/17's... there's stickied compilation threads for a reason.

I refer people to that all the time and actually hang out with Darren.... I work 60 hour weeks and spend my off time with my girl. Taking 30 minutes out of my day to look through threads doesn't sound fun to me anymore. So I simply asked the community to answer my question which is perfectly reasonable. Good to know some people are willing enough to answer a question instead of point fingers. also I know lots of people are running 245/40/17's but you didn't specify what width of wheel. So thx for not answering my question.... If you don't like my post trollllll on.

My point was in the time it took you to create this thread you could've found what you were looking for twice.
