will this work on my car I have 17x8 in the front and 17x9 in the back
I want to put 245/40/17 in the front and 275/40/17 in the back, I tried to search and I found the tire fitment guide and it said the front will work but the back needed to be 275/35/17 but my question is how will the tires look will they look like there going to bulge? I know I will need wide body for this setup but I also want to know how big I should get a wide body to match these I was thinking 20mil in the front and 30 mill in the back. to get a flush look.

 

what is the offset of these wheels?

35 in the front and 38 in the rear let me know

 

shouldn't a 255/40/17 be fine for the rear?...

 

i heard this before as well.

 

You won't need widebody for these wheels.

In terms of tire sizing to fit the fronts i think you'll need to do a minor roll and run a 5mm spacer approx.

In the rear the 275 is just a crazy tall tire for the FC, i'd recommend a 255/40 or 265/40 and that won't require any spacer. You have pretty good offsets there.

All comes down to your suspension.

i wouldnt mind knowing the answer to this question as well because i got a set of hoosier DOT R compounds that are 275-40-17 and i would like to know if they will fit in back as well without mods?

 

thanks rishie

 

Would this Set up clear Coilovers?. Thanks.

 

oh and would it clear the stance coilovers

 

FYI- Hoosier tires run wider that what they are advertised as. I know people with 285's on the rear with coilovers on 17 by 10 wheels, but it doesnt look good. Thus why I went with my setup. 265's look just right not too big not too small.


I run 265 40 on 17 by 9 with a 34 offset, has about a finger and a half from the trailing arm. Coilovers will aways help.

Running Yokohama av140i tires.

This is clearance from the tire, and the trailing arm(frontward area of the rim).

 

oh.. i see. So a 17x9 +38 offset with 265 wouldn't work... would it?..

 

heres 285/40/17 on 17x10.5 27mm offset. maybe it helps, maybe not. i just felt like showing them B-)
oh an i have 255/40/17 up front with 30mm offset. so 245/40 on 35mm should fit fine too. tein flex coilovers.

 

well ill be damned.....looks like everything will work out!

 

but plz dont hit a good bump...

 

...ahh, your FC called and she said that her fenders cant breath...

nice rims btw... but damm thats a lota rubber(even that BMW back their got less rubber!)... im gueesin V8 power, no?!?!
