hoosier 255-40-17 on stock gts-t front fender.

[canu_50]

well i am running 255 in the back, but in the front it seems like the tire comes really near to the strut (225-45-17 on 9 inch rim). Buglsy you are running the 255 in front?

The wheel are 17x8 +35, so frank if I am already close to the strut and knowing the hoosier has more tire patch it will mostlikely rub.

p.s You are right i can't come for the moment .

my gts had 17x8.5+30 with 255/40/17. roll them. dial in the alignment, then your golden.

+40 ~ish no spacer

basically, highest offset that will clear the calipers

i used to run 17x9 +38 work emotion rims in the front, it needed a 5mm spacer to clear the caliper (+33 offset) because of the wheel design, and with a 255 tire it was sunken inside the fender

it would probly have been fine on a GTS-T

you can come to my place and try my wheels on, ohh yeah thats right... you can't :P

Nobody has an idea about the offset i should run on a 9 inch rim?

My question is quite easy.

Did anyone, ever try to put some 255 in the front of their gts-t?

I know i will have to change my mags, and go with some lowoffset, and put some spacer.

I am just wondering if anybody has done it before to give me a guideline on which offset i should look at.

I want to use this set up only for time attack, it will be running 255 hoosier( around .7'' more contact patch then usual tire) and i will be running 275 in the back.

I know my stock fender are going to get rape, i am looking on putting some d-max _15 in the front to help me out with the clearance.

Anybody has ever done or saw somebody to it??
