Input on 245/40/17 F and 255/40/17 R on 17x9 +45 wheels
Alright gents. Wondering if anyone has run this setup yet:
245/40/17 Front with 24.7" overall diameter 255/40/17 Rear with 25" overall diameter 17x9 +45 wheels Thinking about going this route as I sometimes rub my front tires on the fenders. I'm concerned that the 1/3" difference in overall diameter might not look good. I'd prefer to hear from people who have used or seen the front sizes in person Thanks for the input. Hankook Ventus R-S3 (Version 2) |
You won't notice the diameter difference.
|
I've run one step smaller front vs rear on my FD for over a decade now (25 inch front, 25.3 inch rear) and it actually looks pretty damn good :)
|
Also remember all tire's are not the exact same width (255 vs 255). What is your ride height on the front? Many people are running 285's up front on a 9.5-10 wheel +45-50 offset without much rubbing.

Interesting... What are your ride heights? Thanks all. |
IIRC it is 25.75R and 25.25F, my car is on jack stands right now, I'll measure it once it is back on the ground this week.
|
Keep in mind 265/40-17 isn't the most common size.
Personally I don't like idea of running a wide tire stagger like that on a square wheel width. ZE Power, what wheel sizes are you running? Looks pretty staggered. |
Yeah they aren't very common, very limited selection when I was looking for tires, I ended up with some Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport.
Wheel sizes are 17x9 +35 and 17x10 +35, ride height is correct at 25.25F and 25.75R. 25.5R would be more ideal, but I can't go any lower without reducing shock travel so I just left it at 25.75R. |
Well, I bought a set of the Hankook RS3s in these sizes so I'm committed :)
245/40/17 Front with 24.7" overall diameter 255/40/17 Rear with 25" overall diameter On another note, the Hankook RS3s are on closeout at Tire Rack. Very nicely priced. |
