Hey hows it going. i have a issue lol i just bought some 17-9 xxr wheels and im having trouble finding the right size tire to mount on them. i seen a civic same wheels running 215/45/17 looked stretched. trying to go minimal on the stretching. hope yall can help me. thanks

 

245/40/17 or 255/40/17 would be optimal but im pretty sure there offsets are on the lil more agressive side and if your running 17x9 x4 you may want to run staggered tires 225/45/17 front and 255/40/17 rear. see what the offset is and get back to us.

 

I actually have those in 17x9 with +42 offset all around. Still deciding on what tire brand and size to run. Here are the brands nitto nt05 , sumitomo htrz 3, hankook v12. Which one would you guys recommend? As for size I'm planning to run 255/40/17 so I can rotate. Front fender will get rolled and flared, back will be shaved to the max cuz i cant roll it due to some bondo near the edge. You guys think that tire size will work? or should i go smaller. Sorry for jacking the thread but this might help you =)

 

front will def need a good roll maybe a pull rear will probably need a roll depending on right height and camber but for you id be safe and run 245s

 

With a 42mm offset a fender lip roll and maybe pull would be needed. The 245/40R17 would be the best size for clearance issues. I would say bang for the buck the Sumitomo would be the best.
If I can help with the tires let me know.
