Will 245/45s work on 17x8.5 +25 all around on an S14 with little to no fender work?

[whiterps13]

Yes. Thats a pretty wide size for that rim though, Id probably go with 235/45.

I have 225/45's on that same sized rim but its on an s13. Let me guess, your getting D2's?

245/45 is a huge rolling diameter. You should probably go with 245/40 if you are stuck on 245s. Either way, 235s would be a better choice, especially if you plan on going fairly low with coilovers.

Yeah I want 245/40 but I don't think they make the RT-615s in that size. I could bump it up to 255/40 in the rear and 235/40 up front. Don't think a 255 will fair too well on a 8.5in wheel though, right?

[naed240sx]

Then just run 235/40 all around, or go with 245/40 Hankook RS2s (cheaper and competitive with the 615) all around.

255 615s would work on an 8.5" wheel, but definately would not be ideal.

why not?

why not?

fits better on a 9j or 9.5j.

I'm going for the 235/40. I wanted the 245 since I'm running a fair amount of HP. We'll see how they hold up.

Good decision. Got 235/40 17 for 17x8 rims myself recently...
