Tire size for 17x9 and 17x10.5

[elcruzmissle]

Im uping the size of width next year for the 2009 season and im just wondering what people might have tried on these rim sizes.

im running a 96 240sx in the sm2 class... yah, need more grip... less slip lol

Thanks anyone whos got an opinion or two

I would love to see 295/40 on that 10.5

235/45 255/40

I have 235/45 on the 17x9 +15s on the front of my s14. The 255/40s on my 17x10 rear wheels are slightly stretched. I would try and get atleast a 275 on that 10.5, though that might be difficult depending on your offset.

[elcruzmissle]

well the offset for the 9's are gonna be around +24 and the 10.5's will be around +27... or vice versa... ive got it written somewhere lol.

oh well then definitely 245/45 for the front, and with a roll and slight pull you should be golden for 275/35 in the back.

What wheels are you planning on?

I am running a similar setup to yours.17*9 +22 and 17*10.5 +17 running 245/45 and 275/40 with a slight roll in the front and 30mm over fenders in the back. With the current setup, they sit flush.

Right now, I would rather run a smaller profile in the front because there are some rubbage during full lock. With your setup, you probably might need to run 235/255 because of coilover clearances. I have like ~5mm of coilover clearance front and back.

well since the sm2 class allows up to 10.5 i was thinking id just grab a solid set of rims off a mustang gt since the bolt pattern is the same and they will most definately be cheap.

plus over here in the rio grande region of scca all the guys i race are mustangs anyway so i thought it might be a lil more insulting all ill do is just replace the center cap with something else... i wonder if i could get a nissan emblem put on them

Haha I've thought about doing that so many times.

go for the mustang wheels. they're so much cheaper and abundant than JDM wheels. defintiely replace the center cap with a nissan one though. dont wanna rep Ford.
