To me it make sense to have the same tires size all-around. I rotate my tires every oil change. Extend the life of these tires

I just don't want to deal with 255s up front rubbing on the track. And 255 azenis are real wide for their sizes. 235 azenis don't look very stretched on a 9 IMO. I've got 17x8.5 +42 with a 225/45 and 17x9.5 + 44 with a 245/40 with no problems.

I have the 17x8 and 17x9 with the +45 offset. Is it ok to go with 40 height all around instead of 45 in the front and just 40 in the rear. Perferable, i would like to go with 35 in the rear and 40 in the front. This is not going to be no track car, just a daily driven car. What do you guys say, help out here please. thanks

Yeah that would be nice. I just got the 235/40/17 and 255/40/17's. Dang do these 255 Azenis look big looking ha. Will post pics when I get them mounted this weekend. Have my fingers crossed for no rubbing!

find some posts by me about 5 pages ago. i run a 245/40F and 255/40R on Fk452's. if you all are gonna do a 235, i would start thinkin about the front fenders. you might get by, but be prepared to flare the fronts. Anyway, a few pages back i do talk about alignment settings and everything. just read the posts.

well i have a 1" drop tein springs. i don't think the 235 and 255 will sit good with the width of the tires unless I do some modifying. More pictures tho. looks good. I have some gold also but on silverstone. More pictures please.
