hey all, this is really just directed to grant...but anyone else can chime in too

i've gotten my 245/45/17's to fit in the rear so HA...in your face Grant!

no i'm joking...but you WERE right about them being too tall...so i've decided to listen to your wisdom this time for front tire sizing

i've got BBS RK 17x8 in the front...offset 39 w/ 30mm spacer so it's +9 offset effectively...

i want to go w/ a 245/40/17 up front...would this work? should i go maybe a little smalleR? like 235/40/17?

i'm not worried about rotation, cuz i do that crap (wasteful i know)

i also have to mention, the spacers i have are adjustable so i can take off plates to compensate for wider tires (fittin inside fenders)

245/40/17 would rub the fender more than likely, depends on how your car is setup.

Go with a 235/40/17
