Sup guys, im more then likely going to buy A-Tech Weapon wheels from Enjuku Racing's website. The sizes are 17x8 +28 and 17x9 + 27. My question is will these clear Z brakes and coilovers and what tire size do you guys recommend?? Im getting Kuhmo MX's and i was thinking 225/45/17 for the front and 235 or 245/40/17 in the rear. Let me know what yall think. Thanks guys

PS: I searched the offsets and i didnt find anybody running them so thats why im asking ANOTHER offset question. Thanks again guys.

They should clear Z brakes just fine. Also depends what coilovers you have but you may need a small 5mm slip on spacer to clear the coilovers. You should be fine.

Strangley, a techs were the best buy I have made in a while. I actually went with the Competitions (5 spokes are eternal) same sizes/ offsets. Lots of clearance for brakes with 225/45 f and 245/40 r. Picked up a set in 16x8 also and probably will go 17x9 up front with a 235/40. I am something of a wheel whore. Weds tc5's, OZ Monte Carlos (heavy as hell), Mustang Bullets (sacrilege I tell you) and will probably buy a set of rota torques if i can find some wide 17's with the sunken look. What was the question again?

Im thinking 225/45/17 up front and 235 or 245/40/17. I kinda like the stretched looked of 235/40/17 on the 17x9's. Its whats im running right now. Tires will be Kuhmo MX's. Im welcomed to any other opinions on tires and sizes.
