tire question
 

this has been discused before but I got 3 question. I'm putting 17 x 9 RPO2 on the car with Tein S Tech spring so it will lower it about 1.25-1.5. now:
1. Can I fit a 255/40-17 in the front?
2. What offset(I'm not got and choosing offsets)?
3. What tire to use?

I'm not a weekend warrior at the track or anything. My main consern is a tire that will be good, not too noisy, good tread life and performs good in the rain (it rains alot here). I want them the same size all around so they last longer by rotaring.

They don't make a 17x9 RP-02 in proper offsets for an FD. Back to the drawing board....

F*#K!!!!!! so just delete the RPO2 and I will still go with a 17 x 9 wheel

probably Volks GT-A

17x9 with +45 to +50 offset all around with 255/40 17. A "good" tire, but not "top-of-the-line" is the Bridgestone 750.

Some people are also running +43 offset 17x9 with no problems but that is a more aggresive fitment and might not be problem free for everyone.
