Default what offset

im buying my s2k in a week and for a heads up in trying to figure out what size offset and tire size i can run with a 1.5in drop. im looking at goin wiht a set of 17s may even go down to a 16. i want to run a little wider in the rear than the front. i was thinking a 255 in the rear and 235 up front. i just dont want to be too aggresive to where i have to roll the fenders just yet.

Stock AP2 wheels are 17x7.5 +55 front and 17x8.5 +65 rear. Stock tire size is 215/45R17 and 245/40R17. A lot of people use 225/45R17 and 255/40R17 with 1.5 inch drop with no problems.

The 235 would be taller than stock and not a good size. Stay with the 225/45R17 front.
If I can help let me know.

With 245 or 255, rolling and camber will be needed.

The 255/40R17 on a 17X8.5 ET65 would be fine.
