im looking at getting a set of rota slips very soon & going to run r888's will 225/45/17 be ok for the front & 255/40/17's be ok for the rear?

 

If you lower the car, you will rub, if not you will be ok.

Just get 215/245 if you plan on suspension mod's

See my sig for pic's

( P:S Rim's are what yanks and gay's say , We call them wheels )

 

nice one cheers mate, so 215/40 & 245/40?

i was wantin the tires as wide as possible.

has the wider tire been tried & tested?

im planning on lowering the car a fair bit with a set of BC coilovers

 

No, you want the following:

Rota Slipstreams

Front - 215/45/17 (7.5" +45)
Rear - 245/40/17 (8" +48)

I run Toyo T1R's and have no issues with rubbing, other than the slightest touch from time to time on the front arch liner.

Ron (Hypersonic) run's R888's in the same sizes as above and has had some contact with the rears. This is due to the tyre width/wall being slighly larger. I had the same issues when I fitted Yoko's AO48's.

I do run alot of camber though, which means the tyres don't last long

 

ideal mate, i'll take your advice.

just seen s2k's running 255's on the rear in the states & thought it would work.

think i'll order them tomorow

 

People run 255's over here aswell. Some also used non-staggered sizes.

I can only talk for my own experience. I know these fit without rubbing (other than what I said above). If you roll the arches you could go even wider if you want.

Some have also been known to run a smaller tyre profile, but I haven't so I can't comment

 

cheers for the info buddy.

im going to try & find out how i can run the 255's on the rear, if anyone has had any experience can they let me know please.

thanks in advance

 

Higher offset wheel?! or arch modification.

 

Rota's only come inthe above offset though.

If you buy a set of decent wheels, I:E Volks/Mugen etc. You will get a offset closer to OEM, meaning you can run wider tyres or wheels without making contact with the outter arch.

 

how much higher offset though?
