whell im just curous of size and everything but mostly curious bout the front tires.. im going to be needed new ones was planning on going with 225/40/17 or would it be go to go 225/45/17 im having a little trouble deciding and what brand.. and was wondering what everyone else has.. so if you also have a picture of how they look on the car please post that as well

 

225/45 17 would be the proper aspect ratio. What size/offset wheels do you have?

 

these are 245/40/18 on my enkei aegis wheels which are for sale because i got some advans.



and when my car was stock

 

275/40 17 all the way around right now. Working on fitting 315/35 17's on the rear

 

Ditto. 275/40-17 on 17x9.5 +42 all around.

 

275/40 all around 17x9.5 +43

Debating on 295/35's.

 

All 255/40-17 on 9X17 Enkie SP01s.

 

HOW THE HELL DO you fit 275s all around.. dont it hit the fender or sidewall or anything??

 

Those are some outrageous size's for a car that's very light! Has everyone fallen into the "bigger is better" mantra???

I'll be running 245/40/17's at the front and 255/40/17's in the rear. Have the 99spec OEM wheels.

Want to cure a bit of the oversteer the car has. Try to keep the car as close to OEM as possible.

 

Roll the front fenders and coilovers with proper off set wheels. Look out now, I said proper offset...... here comes the trolls.

 

275 is not an outrageous size for a an FD, trust me, it can use every bit of it.

 

255/35/18 front, 275/35/18 rear for street, 285/30/18 all around track.

 

I use stiff springs...

Need all the rubber I can get in auto-x

 

255/40 on 17x9 all around

 

What offset are you running?

 

I do want to point out that running 275/40 17 up front (or any other larger diameter tire) can greatly increase the probability of the tire smashing into the fender liner on road dips. A lot of people used to (and still do) run this size in race tires up front for track use, but 275/40 17 race tires are usually smaller diameter than 275/40 street tires.

I would not run 275/40 17 up front on the street.

 

what do you mean roll the front fenders?

whell i know what you mean but how would i do that?

 

bump.. sorry im really curious on how to fix it

 

lol anyone?

 

If you look on the under-side of the fender as it curls under, you'll see a little lip. The tires can/will catch on that (which will damage your fender and tire). That needs to be rolled back so larger tires won't get caught on it.

Just take it to a body shop and ask them to roll your fenders. It would probably cost about $60 to do all 4 or around half that for just the front.

 

perfect thanks mahjik thats the answer i was looking for.. o and hows your car i remeber it blew... and you were getting all the accessories for it

 

You could also roll the fenders with a blowtorch and a hammer. Just take your time, and don't crack the paint.

Some people also use baseball bats.
