Tire Fitment Opinions

[Taylor_Fraser]

I am on the search for some tires for the car. I currently have a 17x9 wheel with what i believe to be a 35 offset. I am running a
235/40/zr17 and feel that i need something with a bit more meat to fill the wheel well in the rear and front. I have been getting quotes for 255/40/zr17. If anyone could use my pictures as reference or share some personal experiences to tell me whether that would be the right tire to put on with a 5mm wheel spacer. anything helps. i checked the wheel fitment thread but could only find some sizes close to mine.

Go with 255 40 or be cool and run 265/35

yeah i believe 265 is the max that 9 inch wheel will take. i might have to do fender flare with those? also, i dont know if a 265 would fit the front, its really low and i dont really want to readust the coilovers haha

I would say roll them at least. Consider the tire being a little wider than the rim. Does the rim sit flush with the fender? Judge by that whether you will need to pull the fender at all.

I know it's off topic but that car looks sharp man.

I wouldn't mind knowing how much tire you could get in there. I would love to get close to a 300 series if I could.

thanks! its very clean. yeah i am not opposed to a fender role, i almost wish i needed one. means i got lots of tire! but yeah i think im probably going to go with the 255/40/17 got a quote for 4 falkens installed for 762$ id say thats fair. if im really annoyed with it not being low enough im going to hunt down a bargain on some rear coil overs. i already have tein in the front.

ALSO . there are 5mm wheel spacers in now, NOT in the photo, yes the rim sits very flush with the fender. im excited to see what the tires are guna look like
