i got some new 17X9 +35 and 17x8 +35 wondering what size tires to run to get a mild stretch thats the same for front and rear? anyone have any ideas(EDIT)So i found these take a look and consider the size of the tread width to the size of my rims http://www.thefuzionzone.com/zri.asp i chose 245/40/r17 for the rear cause the tread width is 8.5 inches and my rear rims are 9inch. So i chose 215/45/r17 because the tread width is 7.5 inches and my rims are 8 inch. also the diameter of the front is .1 inches smaller then the rear. theres is a scrolling size bar on the page i have listed, if anyone really looks up the size that i have listed and sees any other dicrepencies in the sizes that i listed can you let me know. thanks fellas
