tire sizes

[kamikazestorm420]

i am getting some 5zigen fn01rc's soon

17x7 front +35off17x8 rear +35off

i was wondering if i will be able to put on 215/45/17

or is that too narrow?

Why bother staggering wheel sizes if you plan on running the same tires all around?

I'd recommend getting the 17x8" all around and some 8-10mm spacers for the front (b/c Im assuming you're 4-lug and IIRC that's the lowest offset 17x8" 4-lug fno1rc) or converting to 5 lug. This way, you'll be able to rotate your tires and the car will look better IMO.

215/45/17 would be fine, but I'd run 225/45/17 on that setup. On your original setup, I'd run a 215/45/17 (f) and 235/45/17 (r).

ya i am still 4lug.

would i HAVE to use spacers if i get 17x8 for the front?

why would you run 225 instead of 215 on my setup?

[Dori Dori]

Since they only come in +35, you'll need spacers...maybe not for stock, but if you get coilovers you definitely will.

225/45/17 is a good size. They fit 17x8 real nice and work well on the s-chssis.

i have kyb agx / stechs.

do you think i will need spacers for it to fit?i also dont have big brakes either.

so you suggest i get 17x8 for the front and rear? and fit 225/45/17s all around?

sry for all the newbish questions

No spacer will be required.

17x8 all around w/ 235/40/17

[kamikazestorm420]

im confused ... so 235? or 225?

[Dori Dori]

I wouldn't run a 235/40/17 all around, but NF seems to feel they are the better choice. 225/45/17's will be cheaper, easier to find, and come in many more flavors. It's up to you though.

[kamikazestorm420]

what do you think about 225/50?

[Dori Dori]

Too tall.

[turtl631]

yea, 225/45 is a good common OEM size. 235/40 is very close to stock height, but hard as hell to find, and 235/45 is a little tall, but several people use it on a 8" inch wheel for S chassis cars. I'm getting 17x8 all around and I'm going to get whatever I find a good deal on in a sticky tire of those 3

[kamikazestorm420]

thanks i plan on using 225/45/17 and 17x8 all the way around.

thank you for your input
