You have to see if the OEM sensors fit those wheels. If the OEM don't work with your wheels, the other option you have is redi sensors which should work with those wheels. those sensors will run you like 300 bones or so....

Got yeah, makes sense. Damn racing rules. Don't you sometimes just wish you could build unlimited, to your hearts desire, and just run circles around people on lapping days? That seems more fun to me

Or you you could just run a 255/40 R comp in another brand

Because you don't want to put a 255 in the front and a 225 in the rear. You really only want to rotate your tires if they are the same size, however our car favors staggered wheels/tires so we usually don't rotate our wheels unless we have a square set up with the same size tires.

I was really set on the Nitto NT01 this time around. After I get some use out of these, I'll either stick with Nitto or give the R888 a try with the 245/40. First day on the new kicks is tomorrow.

how often do you guys recommend rotating non staggered tires with mostly conservative street driving?

Do non staggered tires have the benefit of using the outside part of the tire once the inner gets worn down by flipping?

thanks guys

Just go with 245/40/17 or 255/40/17. 245s will be easier to fit, go on tire rack. And as for brands that depends on your budget
