what size tires would you run with these wheels .... 17x7.5 52offset in the front and 17x8.5 59offset in the rear....I plan on dropping the car approx 1" and up to 1.5" ....I was thinking 225-45-17 in the front and 245-40-17 in the rear....is this correct....I know that the diameter with this set up would match the stock set up within 1/10" ......is this wide enough in the rear though to keep the rim protected from a curb for instance?

 

what sizes can I run ( so I know what my options are)

 

I'd suggest 225/45-17 front and 255/40-17 rear.

I have a similar set up but how about running 215/45-17 in the front with 255/40-17 rear? Any negative effects or just slight understeer?

 

hyperpm....how big of drop do you have....are you running coilovers?....what a beautifully smooth set up by the way.........Tim.
