so I did a test fit, the rear's are little wider than I expected, the way the wheel is designed is kind of funky the lip of the wheel is rolled around the edge of a cast 1 piece wheel to save on manufacturing costs, therefore the lip is more exposed than usual. It looks like a 255/40 would clear back there but if a 245/40 exsisted it would be a much better choice. The front clears everything everywhere prefectly no rubbing, no need for spacers, I can run a 235/40 easily up there but once again if a 225/40 exsisted that would be the prefect choice for the car.

what do you mean "if they existed"?

both the sizes you say dont exist are common sizes

yes you are correct, I spoke out of turn, I didnt search before hand, 245/40/17 does exsist everywhere, the 225/40 on the other hand is only available in a Kuhmo competiton tire oddly enough

So I am gona switch down to the more sensible well whatever I find that cheap and grips good like the Falken FK452 or whatever the hell else is in the same range.

I am thinking of either a 225/45/17 F with a 245/40/17 R or I could get 235/40/17R and 245/4017 R what do you guys think?

Sorry once again Nismofly.
