17x9 +30 all around
hey guys, I've recently purchased some 17x9 +30 wheels and need a little help on what tires to run in the front. all fenders are rolled and camber is as followed:
F -2.25
R -3.5
I'm going to run 245s on the rear and was thinking 215s or 225s for the front. i know that is somewhat stretch but i would like to fit these without flaring the fenders. just worried ill buy the wrong size tires. any suggestions? thanks in advance.

That is quite a bit of stretch for either. At least a 225 is slightly better. You already bought the wrong wheel sizes so tire size is only going to get you so far.

I didnt buy the wrong size wheels. I knew what I was doing when I purchased them. I knew that they would be a tight fit and would need somewhat of a stretched tire, rolled fenders and neg camber. I have 2 of the 3. I posted this to get tire info from ppl that have experience with this wheel size and offset.

We do have experience with that wheel width and offset, and it’s not a very good one, because you have to compromise your tire width or fenders to fit them. If you knew what you were buying you would know what tires you could run and negate the need for this thread, but on the contrary.
The only saving grace I have for you at this point is to run the z2 which comes in a 235/40 and should be able to squeeze that by up front, then run the 245/40 out back and try and back off as much camber in the rear as you can so you can have more then a 3” wide contact patch on the road surface. 225/45 isnt a good option because it’s a taller tire then the 245/40 and still a bit on the narrow side with running that much camber on the street. 215 is too far stretched. 235/245 combo will look the best and give you the most tire on the road you can fit with your protruding wheels.
