tire size question

[raptor727]

what size tire will fit a 17x9 +25 all round on a s13 240sx. i have a strut spring combo with a 2 inch drop and not rub, there is about 3 or so millimeters between the back of the rim and the strut. if you have pics please post

uhmm 235/40/17? mild stretch for that little bit of extra clearance.

while i am here.... i was looking to get xxr 002, 16x8...... what tires are the best fitment? stock height......

i want the back to be a little wider.... i was thinking 215/55/16 front and 225/55/16 will tht fit and not rubbing anything? and what is the widest i can go on a 16x8 0 offset?

i am so a noob

i know the answer.

post this in the tire/wheel section though.

240gen is so f***ing cluttered.

I would recommend 225/45/17 in the rears, and 225/40 up front for extra fender clearance.

none make a 225/40 from what i have seen, who? would a 225/45 fit and clear?

I made a couple cardboard tempelates of the tires sizes that i would think would fit, with dimensions of the tires i figures a 215/35/17 would fit clearly with no issues, i also did one of 225/35/17 and that looked like it might have some issues, a 45 series tire will not fit at all, correct me if im wrong with my measurements215/35/17sidewall - 3intread width - 8.5in
