Okay so i have a 17x9+35 rim and i normally run USED 225/45/17
One day I came up on a pretty new looking 225/45/17 so i tried getting it mounted and it was too big....
I realized because there was a lot of tread left compared to the other worn out used tires, that was why I couldnt mount it on the front....

Anyways the car has been running pretty s*** lately and i noticed the inner tires on the front were worn up-my fault as i run used tires...
I decided to actually order new tires for the front and bought some s-drive 225/35/17......
When it came in this morning, I realized it was rather slow....and I should of went at least with 225/40/17....

Now I am wondering, can i run a 225.35/17 on a 17x9+35 with +25mm spacers???
Please help as I need to get my car running before school starts!
thanks

technically you run any size tire the rim will let you. lol it all depends if you're trying to be hella flush :yesnod or on a budget. :eek:

yes that will be fine. however, that was a stupid tire size to buy because it will have a much smaller overall diameter than the stock wheels/tires, therefore your speedo will be off.
