Default tires help with buddyclub rims!

kay editting this post**

talked with a representative at buddyclub here in the us, and there was a special setup made for the S. now im just wondering whats the best tire size for these rims. please help.

BuddyClub P1 Racing QF Rims

Front: 17 X 8, 45 offset, 5x114.3
Rear: 17 X 9, 63 offset, 5x114.3

i know the offset is low for the front, but this is the highest offset in this wheel size and supposedly made for the s2k.

I think you should run 17X8 up front and 17X9 in the rear. 45 offset of course.

With that low of an offset in the front you could run the 215/45R17 front and 245/40R17 rear if you want the safest fitment and no rubbing. If you go with the 225/45R17 front I would run the 255/40R17 rear. This will keep you in the same stagger as the OE set up for the best handling.
If I can help let me know.

I asked Buddy Club about those rims and they said that they don't have a d.o.a. for them.

Because they are working on the demand in Japan 1st. the U.S. is second. Would love to get a set of those rims though.
