Hey guys,
Got my S bout 3 weeks ago and planning on ordering coil overs and wheels pretty soon. The wheels will be 17x9 +30 F & 17x9.5 +15 R. My question to you all is mainly the tire size. I want as much meat on the wheels as I can while still being slammed with some camber (max camber 3.8-4). I was thinking a 215/40 F and 235/40 R. Not really a fan on the 205 on 9.5. All corners will be rolled with no pull. Any help/suggestions welcome!!

Thanks K.Shift!!! Needed some direction on this one. Think I'll try 205/40 up front and try and find a 225/40 then.. I work at a dealership and our tire distributors didn't have any options for a 225/40/17. Know any online sources I could find em?

from what I know, there is no such thing as a 225/40/17 tire.
You can fit that set up with about 4 degrees of camber and roll the fenders completely flat and slight pull on a 215/45/17.
This is a 17x9 +22 on 215/45/17.

Much appreciated danio and btw ur setups have been damn near godly!!!
Yea I was wondering about a 225/40/17... So my next "noob" question (and I've already been through most threads) is.. 215/45 gonna stop me from slamming it that much more than going with a 215/40?? Cuz right now it looks like I'll end up going with a 205/40 on 9" and 215/40 on 9.5

I just bought my S2K this week and I have already ordered a set of KWV2 coils for it. I really need some help on wheel and tire fitment though. I have read just about every thread there is about fitment but there are a lot of conflicting answers. The wheels I want to run are the XXR 968's 18x9 +35 on the front and 18x10.5 +20 on the rear. I am willing to roll my fenders, what else do I need to do to make them fit?

thanks!
you can run a 215/40/17 but if you look at the pics of my car on the white TE37, those are 215/45/17 all around and the car is slammed as it is.

Hey guys,
My current bbs lm wheel specs are 17x8+45 front with 215/45/17 tire with -1.5 camber and 17x9+40 rear with 245/40/17 tire with -2.5 camber as seen in the picture below. I would like to reverse mount the wheels and from my understanding lowers the offset by 15mm and I'd also like to keep the ride height the same. Front and rear fenders have been rolled and tabs have been relocated in the rear. By lowering the offsets an additional 15mm all around will this require the fenders to be pulled or flared and what is the minimal amount of camber required? All suggestions appreciated, thanks in advance.

Need a little help from you guys fitting these :-)
Found out the OEM studs are too short :-( wasn't planning on having to press in new studs any diy tips? Or should I run spacers with extended lugs?
Here is the rear rested on studs:
They're OEM Maserati Quattroporte wheels (BBS Italy) and specs are
F - 18x8.5 et 52
R - 18x10.5 et 50.5
