I dont really care if they look sunken, just wanted to make sure if they will fit without rubbing the fenders and suspension. Or would I need to get my fenders rolled to get these to fit? Hmm. just got off the phone with the guy and said they may be 17x7.5 and 17x8.5. But anyways would either size fit? I have until tommorrow night to buy them or he's gonna sell to someone else, so I need some opinions asap. thanks in advance Wei
First off why the hell would he put 255's on the rear for??
I would say that you "need" 215/45/17 in the front and you should run 235/40/17s in the rear. The reason I say this is because on a 17x7 215/45 is ideal size since a 40 series it way too low pro and will cause a reduction in ride quality. As for the backs.... yeah 255 is way too wide of a tire for a 8" wide wheel. My wheels are 17x7 wide and I run 215/45/17's. So for every .5 inches of wheel you should step up 10mm tire width respectively. And since the backs will be an inch wider you would step down the tire height by 5mm since 45% of 215 and 45% of 235 is a big difference in tire height. Unless you are going for that stretched look which I think is just F'ing retarded. But that's my opinion. I hope this helps you a little.
