I'm ordering in a stagger set of Enkei RPF1. I want to know what's best tire size for my ride. I'm currently on lowering springs and my fenders are NOT rolled. I was looking to get 225/45/17 or either the 235/40/17.
The wheel specs are as follows: 17x8 +35 (Going to the rear) 17x8 +45 (Going to the front) -------------------- |

I'd personally get the same offset wheels for the front and the back and just get some spacers for the rear. No sense in not being able to rotate your tires lol
and I'd go with the 235's on the 8in wide wheel |

True that but it doesn't bother me much. 235s does sound better considering it's a wider tire. QUOTE (SwissFerdi @ Dec 10, 2012 - 9:32 AM) 225/45 for least sidewall flex, 235 for a bit o' extra tire meat. Honestly though, with wheels like that I wouldn't go for anything less than the optimal response. I'll go with that extra chunkiness. -------------------- |
