Here are some up to date shots with the 255/40-17 Dunlop Direzza ZII on the 17X10 +45. I like the tires a lot. I notice a difference from the R888's; they're not as loud, seem to grip well.

Hoping you guys can help me out.

The Tire in question Toyo R1R (only this tire)

ASM front fenders | ASM Rear over fenders are on.

Wheels: 17x9.5 +28 (Square)

Current Tires: 235/40/17

So, I want to achieve the most square tire setup i can. Toyo does not make a 265 in the R1R. My options are either a 255/40 or a 275/40 for the rear. I am asking here because i am coming across images online of a 255 R1R on a 9.5" Rim like this.

For the front I am unsure to go with either a 245/40 or a 255/40

Ill include images for reference. I will also camber out the rear, and plan on running a 5mm spacer that will bring the rear to a +23

This the front wheels with a sumitomo htrz 3 tire 235/40/17

Rear wheel as it sits now. 235/40 tire

The is what i am trying to achieve in the rear. He is on 17x9.5 +22 with a 265/40 Tire.

Probably doesnt matter much but that 1st pic with the black bimmer, those are not R1R but toyo Ra1 ! 275/40/17 is hella tall, heavy and have tall and soft sidewalls, depend on your driving style but personally think its a really shitty tire size and really doubt you can fit that on the rear ! You better get a 255 and -2.8 camber than a 275 with -4 camber imo ! Those 235 summimoto are probably as wide as a 215 r1r, 255 rear should be ok,255 up front might pushing it but maybe possible with matching 2.8 camber up front ! And btw i had r1r last year and they are cheap, grip is very good but wear pretty fast when they get's hot !! hope that help a bit !
