Hey i'm sorry if this has been covered on the forums but i have a question on fitment.. I just recently bought some MBmotoring Weapons (17x9 +17) and i want to have a little meatier tires than stock atleast, but i'd like to stretch the sidewalls. I don't want to be rubbing the fenders either. anyone have any idea whats a good size? i was thinking 235/40/17 but those were just my thoughts. let me hear your input.

thanks

 

Is this for the front rear or both?

Without pulled or flared fenders, the +17 offset may be a problem in front unless you have coilovers and can -2 degrees or more camber in front.

Rear should fit in the back with a fender roll.

I run 17X9 +24 with 235/40/17 all around. There is no rubbing in back and I just did a front fender roll.

 

you think you could send me a picture of the way the tire fits the wheel? yeah i have some kei office coilovers so i'll be doing like -3. how much did the fender roll come out to?

thanks

 

Here are a couple pictures. Fender roll was $10 - the price of a child size alumnium baseball bat.

 

i'd be too afraid to roll my fender with a bat. i have no idea on how to do it lol would 225/40/17 be a good size all the way around to have the stretch look?

 

of course you could just do it right.
with the fender roller haha.

not that rollin with a bat is bad. THAT just takes more time and skills haha.

 

i would run a 225 or even 215. obviously 215 will be more aggressive looking but the narrower tire will give you more clearance. i run 215 up fron and 235 in the back but im also running -6 offset wheels and 30mm overfenders.

 

i was considering 215 in front but i realized i rather have a step up size from stock if i'm going to buy all new tires you know? how much would the fender roll cost to be done professional? idk i think i'm gonna do 225/40... but idk hahah

thanks for your input guys

 

The bat was quicker than using a fender roller. It took me 30 seconds per side. most body shops can do it for you for between $50 and $100 bucks.

255/40/17 will fit in front, but you will need about -2 degrees camber and coilovers for extra clearance, as well as a fender roll. The wheels need to be in the 17X9 +24 range.

 

ok i think i decided what i'm doing. help me out here if im wrong... i have a 17x9 +17 MB weapons which (i think) are going to have falken Fk452 225/35/17 all the way around with a -2 or -3 degree camber
do you guys think that sounds good?

thanks. help is really appreciated guys

 

i want to slam it to the ground

 

That should fit. You may not even need much camber.

 

why are you running tires so small?

you should be running 225/45/17s.

 

because i want to stretch the sidewalls and dump the car low
