Question on sizing 18/9f and 18/10R
I just bought Volk GT-C's. +44 offset, I went off the chart on the FD sizing chart. It says on the chart to use 30 profile in the front and rear. I was wondering if I can use 40 front and 35 in the rear? I also just bought HKS RS coilovers.


Also can anyone know of a good size tire to get. I was thinking about 225 in front and 275 in the rear.
Thanks for the help.

I don't know squat about tires, but 225mm seems awfully narrow for a 9 inch rim. I would shoot for 255mm. As for the aspect ratio, that kind of depends on the diameter of the tire doesn't it? What is the diameter of your new wheels?
