Default What tire sizes can i use?
Im going to be purchasing some 17 inch rota slipstreams, but i have no idea about what tire sizes i need. The rims are the staggered set up, 17 x 7.5 in the front and 17 x 8.5 in the rear. Any ideas?

It'll be wholly dependent on your offsets.

Yes.

225mm x 45% = 101.25mm
245mm x 40% = 98mm and 245mm x 45% = 110.25mm

Better to be smaller by 3.25mm than bigger by 9mm.

225/45/17 may be a bit wide for the fronts depending on your offsets, maybe go with AP2 sizes 215/45 and 245/40 if the offsets you bought will support them.
