Tire HELP!
So I have these Work RSZ-R's that need some tires, but I have no idea which ones. To fill you on in my specs for the wheels here they are
Fronts: 17" 7.5 +25
Rears : 17" 8.5 +25
With that being said what size tires should I be looking at?
A friend recommended me a size last year but they ended up being completely wrong and TireRack would only refund 2 of my tires. The other 2 I kept and I'm still trying to get rid of them. Those were 225/45/17 & 255/45/17 I have one of each in those sizes, but those sizes werent correct and made the car look like an off-road monster. So if there is a tire tech guru out there i would greatly appreciate your advice. Thank you!

Just to prepare you, the real issue is the wheels and not so much the tires. Not sure why you'd put a 255/45 on there, 245/40 would fit more nicely. The wheels are fairly aggressive at +33. Do you plan on modifying your rear fenders? That's going to be the only way to get those wheels to fit.

Yes, here's a link to illustrate the crux of the issue: http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php...&Submit=Submit
As you can see, regardless of tire size the offset puts the wheel quite a bit farther out. So will a thinner tire help? Sort of.
So here's the real question: How much do you really like those wheels, and are you willing to do what it takes to make them fit PROPERLY?

They are pretty nice looking wheels. With 215/45 front and 245/40 rear they should work, some roll may be necessary. Reason I asked if you were willing to make them fit is some people want to leave their fenders untouched.
Rear (these are +43)
