Finally getting rid of the stockies and getting some pretty baller looking wheels (I say baller looking because im not rich and therefore cannot afford big name brand over priced wheels : ) thanks) The wheels are obviously a staggered setup and here are the specs:Front: 17x9 +24Rear: 17x10.5 +27

Car: S14 zenki. Eibach sportlines kyb agx dampers. I know alot about cars but anything body/wheel tire related im a noob!

What tire sizes can you guys suggest and do you think I will need a pull in the rear. Pretty sure all 4 corners need to be rolled, rears are already half *** rolled.. Thanks alot!-Brad

I would probably do a 235 40 255 35 combo. Although I run a 225f and a 245 rear on a 9.5 rim.

I used to run a 265 35 and the car looked pretty sick with those and the grip was perfect. It's all in prefference and price of course.

Id probably run one of these two setups.

235/40/17265/35/17

or

245/40/17275/35/17

depending on your tire choice, stretching preference, and budget.

Were those Mustang replicas you were looking at? Just curious which ones. I like white's tire sizes for those. For 17x9's all around, I'd do 235/40's or maybe 245/40's if you like a fatter tire...

Yeah, if youre running the 17x9's all the way around I'd probably run a 245/40/17 since s14's can get away with fatter tires.

On an s13, 235/40 would be the way to go.

Hey...I have a set of 17*9/10.5 and have the same question about tire size...But more specifically, I am concerned about rubbing on future coilovers....wat tire size do you guys recomend....

offset is +24 in the front with ~5mm clearance on original struts

rear is +20 in the rear with ~5mm clearance also..

I'm concerned that once tires are mounted it might rub with the coilovers...wat size do you guys recomend....

I like the stretched look but want a pretty wide tire also.

Sounds small... might want to start with how your car handles now before you go jumping into a crazy stag setup or really any setup.

What size are you running on the current setup? How does it handle the way it is now?
