question on 17x8" wheels/tires

How would they fit on an FD if they have an offset of +45? How wide of tires could i fit on them front and rear. Current suspension is Tokico's and Eibachs with stock trailing arms.

thanks

but I can't go any wider than 235's? what about with spacers? I'd be willing to use spacers to bring the wheels out more if needed for a better fit/wider tires.

245/40 would probably be ok.

I put 245/40's on my first set of 17x8 SSRs. Works fine!

but 255/40 wouldn't work, even just in the back? maybe too tall?

If you want to run wider tires, you'll need to get wider wheels....

on a 17x9.5 you could run a 255/40 comfortably.

yeah. I know the wheels are a lot narrower than I'd like, but the price is right. 10" Fikse's will come later

thanks for the quick help

would guys suggest 225 in the front and 245 in the rear or 245 all around for the street?
