Mazdaspeed MS01 17x8, 17x7 tire choices

Hey everyone,

After a lot of searching through the FC fitment thread I still need some things cleared up.

I have Mazdaspeed MS01's 17x7 +30 front 17x8 +35 rear

The car will have Bilstein shocks and Tanabe GF210 springs.

I wanted to run a 245 wide tire in the back and a 225 tire in the front.

Will there be any rubbing? I want tires that are flush with the edge of the wheel with no stretch. Any other sizes I should consider running?

Thanks in advance.

Front 205, Rear 225 would reduce sidewall flex.

Yea those are good sizes, 245 on a 8 inch rim will buldge quite a bit, and it wouldnt be the look your going for.
