Help: 17x8in Rim/Tire on FD3S
I'm looking for a aggressive look in the rear for my 17x8in 5zigen rims. I've been searching for a few days but my main question hasn't been answered. I already have 245/40/17 on all four corners. I want to keep the 245/40/17 tires in the front but make the rear very aggressive looking with a nice wide tire on a 8in rim. Some people have told me to try a 315 or 275 width. I have koni yellow shocks with eibach ground control. I would like the widest tire without having any type of fitment rubbing issues. Has anyone used a 315 or 275/40 on a 17x8in rim on a FD? I was thinking of going with Toyo t1r's, but any other company suggestions will help greatly. I'm not looking to spend $250+ per tire. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jay7..

That won't fit AT ALL! You're going to need a 9.5" wheel and wider to accomodate those sizes. As "GoodfellaFD3S" alludes to, you can try stretching on a 255/40-17 but another 10mm isn't going to make much of a visual difference on an 8" wheel. Either keep what you have (you'll have neutral handling BTW having the same sizes all around), or spring for some wider rear wheels.

I think he paid $195.00 each with free shipping... not sure...
Another thing is with an fd I dont think you want to put an old school look with the over sized tires on a narrow rim in the rear... Cornering with that set up might be unsafe...
Good luck,
Dwayne
