need tire help for 17's on low s13

[crapanese]

wheel specs are 17/8 ( front ) 17/9 back offsets arent that low +32 i believe they are. the car is kinda low on the coilovers and i wanna keep it that way. kinda want to run a tire with a little stretch something to the effect of the pic below. id ratehr run a slight stretch than a fatter tire. but would like something in this range as i want to keep stock fender / quarter wheel openings. do you think spacers will be needed with running these offsets to clear my coilovers ?

im kinda lost here. would these be like a 215/45/17 all the way around ? pic for reference.

215/45 front, 235/40 rear, 20mm front spacer, 10mm rear spacer, adjust fenders accordingly, probably just a roll, and youll be good to go

awesome. can anyone make recomendations for what kind of tires to go with ? car will be driven daily ( except in snow ) falkens ? khumo ? anyone have any good / bad things to say ? lookin for a good in the rain all season

[nismofly]

you say you dont drive it in snow...but then you say you want an all season?

a summer tire doesnt mean just dry, most summer tires are at least as good in rain as all seasons, UHP's like the bfg kdw and avon tech m500 are better than all seasons in rain even

that said, if you want a tire that performs amazing in dry and is "acceptable" in rain, go with like a hankook rs2 or falken rt615, kumho is releasing a new tire shortly that is supposed to be a clear choice in this segment, but thats something to be determined

on the other hand if you want something where you can drive and not really have to worry about in the rain, get something more along the lines of what i mentioned before

awesome, thanks for all the help. ive ran khumo, and falken tires alot on my other cars but they were all slow FWD's. just wanted to make the safest choice for the vehicle im driving
