Default Work CR Kai- 17x9 +44 (265/40 tires) ALL AROUND!
Ok so Im currently running 265/40 all around on the wheels right now and had to raise the car up from being slammed due to rubbing issues. Fender work and everything needed was done, but I want to go waaay lower now. Any suggestions on tire sizes?? Here is what I have so far for ideas-

front- 235/40 or 235/35
rear- 245/40 or 255/40

the setup:




any help is appreciated. Thnx.

Tristan

The back, you'll be ok to go pretty low with 245/40/17.

I'm not sure what you did to the front but looks like you have stock fenders on, so you'll probably need something narrower...225/40/17 possibly.

...225/40/17 possibly.
to my knowledge that size tire is not that popular. it may be harder to come by.

Ill Photography and RowdyITR have the 9.5" XD9's +44 and they run 235-40-17 with rolled fenders and they both have an aggressive ride height.

225 is too narrow for a 9" wheel

How low are you trying to go? You should also flair out the front fenders instead of rolling. Flairing will give you more clearance.
