these Tires on a 9.5 wheels?

Hey guys,

i've got a set of old school Volks (C-ultra's) that i'll be slapping on the FC...

they 17x9.5 all the way around


Can i squeeze 265/40/17 in the back and 235/45/17 in the front?


I'm Running Tein Super Street coilovers...

Will the rubber fit the Rims ok?

Thanks

the wheels have a sort of "built in" spacer... the spacer bolts to the hub, and then the wheel bolts to the spacer with allen key...

don't ask me.. that's how Rays designed it...

so by changing the thickness i can have whatever offset i like...


I was more interested in how a 265 piece of rubber would fit on a 9.5 inch wheel...

A 265 fits perfectly on a 9.5" wheel, that is the ideal width for it.

I have 275/40/17's on a 9.5" rim on my fc, had to use a small 5mm spacer on each side or else the tire touched the trailing arm. They don't look bubbled out at all.
