Wheel+ tire gurus, need your opinion

[leonelrr]

First of all i did my research and i found plenty of valuable information. And i know this kinda questions have been answered before. But still any input would be highly appreciated especially if you're running or have experience running this set up.93 chuki, stock tension rods etc.Kyb agx shocks, with Eibach springs car is not lowered.Power plant is stock KA24DE, and not planning on doing more then 200 HP for a while.

I want to run 5Zigen FN01R-C 17x9 + 15 offset for the fronts and5Zigen FN01R-C 17x10+ 12 offset in the rears.

Tires i don't know maybe Federals, or falken F 235-40-17R 255-40-17

or would it be to extreme to run:

255/40/17 fronts265/40/17 rears..

I am willing to roll and pull fender if needed. I don't think i need spacers, but camber is my concern..I still got the stock tension rods, and rear toe arms. Should i get the adjustable ones before i even attempt any tire fitment? Or i can still roll with the stock ones.Here is a link of a car running the same set up.http://www.cardomain.com/ride/587205Thanks in advance and if you got any pictures, feel free to post them up, either it be 5zigen wheels, MBs, or Works, volks.

Thanks in advance.

I would go with 235's, 245's would be the maximum you would want to go for the front! I mean for 17x8? rear maximum would be 245, 255 would be extreme i think...

17x9 all around with 235 until you get more power

Power plant is stock KA24DE, and not planning on doing more then 200 HP for a while.

if that's the case, imo, 17x9 255/40/17 all around. that's more than enough rubber for the street/strip/track for that power level.

my recommendations if you wanna stick to your original 9/10" staggar: front: 215/45Rear: 235/40

that way, you don't have to pull your fenders.. plus anything over 245s are unessessary since you wanna stay in the sub 200s.

Thanks bro but i can't afford to be getting different wheel+tire set ups.

Thanks adrian just the kind of answer i was looking for. Id do some more research on, pulling fenders, and camber adjusting and i'll make my decision based on that.

no prob.

heres some pix to give an idea...my buddy running the same set up on his old s13 that he sold:

imo, his rear fender and camber is over exagerated lol.. but you get the idea

Thanks for the pictures adrian, nice car indeed. I think i've seen it @ the LA downtown area, all trashed up thg.. And i believe it was for sale on craigslist a while ago. Is that the Vertex body kit by the way?

Anyways do you think i can get away with 225/45 fronts and 245/45 rears? Is cause i've run the 215/40 and 235/35 rear and i didn't like it.. Here are some pictures, this set up looked anything but flush! I know the only way to make it look flush is to go lower,camber, pull roll etc.. But i just want to make sure i got the right wheel+ tire set up so that when i do so i get the results i am looking for and i am happy with the look.
