bought some SSR Integrals 17x8 +32 front and 17x9 +38 rear. Trying to decide which size tires to go with in order to avoid rubbing, maximize handling without increasing understeer, and having enough rubber in back to deal with the To4R power
I have Tein HA's front and rear, and was thinking 245/45 17 front and 265/40 17 rear.
anyone running something close to this? I really don't want to buy rubber and find out it doesn't fit!

What size wheels do you actually have? In another thread, you say that your fronts are 17x8.5. Anyway, assuming the narrower wheel, I'd recommend 235/45 up front and 265/40 out back. BTW, those offsets are low. Most folks are running (at a minimum) +37, up to +50 (stock wheels).

Hey thanks speedking,
They are actually 8.5 wide. Do you thing I am setting myself up for understeer with the 235's on the front and 265's on the back?

Integral A2s only came in whole number widths. A wheel is typically 3/4" to 1" wider than the nominal rating. I have 235/265 and it definitely understeers compared to the stock 225/225. So much so that I would say that street driving was more fun with the 225/225. On the track though, I think it will be a whole new game.

Those offsets are really low. I bet you'll catch the front fender lip easily.
