Can I make this work? FC with 17X9 fronts.. with PICS!
I found a deal on these wheels and tires. I figured they would not fit on the front and I was right.
Specs are as follows:
17X9 +24mm wheels
245/25/17 tires
Tokico blues
Racing beat springs.
The car drives, but I can't turn sharp or go over bumps. It sure looks good though
Will a 235/40/17 up front to fix the issue? I know on paper is will be about an inch shorter overall. Just want to see if anyone is actually running that size with sucess. I don't want to run staggered sizes at the moment. I don't want to roll or pull the fenders either.
Or should I just get 17X8 +30 wheels and 225/45/17 tires all around and not bother.

I'm going to assume you have coilovers. Those tires look like 245/45/17's, a bit too tall. You need a smaller sidewall, and some camber dialed in. I have mine at -1.5 degrees.
I'm running 17x9 +24 all around, with 255/40/17 all around. I have no rubbing issues at all.

I was thinking going down to a 40 series would do the trick, but not 255s because I dont have coilovers. Maybe 245s or 235s?
