Stretched tires are all the fad but not kosher.

Wether the offset will cause the tire to "poke" out of the wheel well more or "suck" it in further.

I believe you will rub on the strut/coil.

Will someone confirm if the following will fit? Looking for function over aesthetics even with limiting myself to street driving

Ive seen some people do 235s on 8" wheels; wanted to see if 245s will work too. From my estimation the below will still clock in slightly below OEM tire/wheel weight. Although I see 235s weighing up to 2lb less, 235/40R17 is just not a common size.

* Stock suspension. Coil overs to lower are an option around 60k miles or so when my stock suspension wears out.
* stock engine. No plans ever to mod engine for power
* stock brakes. Pads and brake lines will be replaced later
* Weds Tc105n 17x8 +42 square setup
* 245/40R17 tires, probably the hankook Venus v12 Evo K110 (a mouthful) or dunlop star spec
* Hub centric rings

Another question, does tire rack list tire weights with air or is it just material?

I wouldn't run a 245 on an 8" wheel, the tire will actually look what they call pinched and it will adversely affect handling. Just go with a 225/45R17 on the 17x8 wheel especially since you don't plan on engine mods. I would recommend the Continental DW the price is right and they are 5 pounds less per tire than Star Spec's.

245/40 on an 8 works fine... I've been running this setup since i bought the car. Street and circuit use... It does NOT adversely affect handling.. Grip levels are wonderful. Still nimble.

225 or 235 is ideal on an 8. 215 & 245 will also work fine.

I would think it would cause the sidewalls to be pretty flexible and "roll over" during hard cornering but if you say thats not the case I will agree. No problem admitting it when i'm wrong lol.

I wouldn't say your wrong .. Just maybe a difference of opinion/preference.

But, no, it doesn't roll over. :happy0180: ultimately depends on tire selection.

What size tire do you guys recommend for a 17x7.5 wheel with a 42 or 45mm offset? Any brands?
