Default Volk gt-n 17x8 .44 17x9 .38

Hey guys,

I just picked up Volk gt-n 17x8 .44 17x9 .38 I have my fenders rolled and can get them pulled if needed. What would be the best or largest tires I can fit on them with out having to go much -camber. I don't like the whole stretched look so I am trying to put a nice amount of rubber on them. I was thinking 225 fronts and 245/255 Rears. not sure about the height though. Any input would be great guys.

Thanks

With your wheel width and offset and desire to run reasonable camber, I’d say 235/40 front. 245/40 rear. You don’t want a stretch and 215 will be stretched a bit. 225/45 would be taller then a 245/40, and running a taller profile tire up front wouldn’t be something I would want. 255 in the rear would be difficult to make fit without running more camber then you would like. So unless you can find a wide 215/45 up front. (Possible starspec) I’d say 235/245 combo.
