So i'm looking to buy a set of buddy club p1 wheels, 17x9 with a +45 offset, the car sits on stock suspension now but I'm waiting to have a set of tien s tech springs put on which will drop it about an inch and a half. After the drop what size tire would work best and would I need a fender roll or camber? It's my daily driver so I don't want too much camber but am fine with a fender roll. I was thinking something like 235/40/17 on the front and 245/40/17 on the rear or 255, not sure as of now. Just wanted to ask for some reassurance!

 

You'll need a fender roll all around, plus camber (2-2.2) and a bumper tab relocation (in back). With all of that, you'll be fine with a 225/45 tire in front and a 255/40 width tire in back.

 

Would I need as much camber if i did a 245 in the rear?

 

You wouldn't *need* as much camber, but 2 degrees of camber is pretty moderate and is only going to help cornering grip. There is no reason to go much less for a performance setup in this car.

 

Id go with the 235/40 up front personally if ap2. The shorter sidewall is nice for steering precision as well, and just a better fit overall on a 9". You can pair it with either a 245 or 255 rear. Just depends on how you want to bias the traction on the car. If it’s generally a stock suspended s2k, the ap2 take kinder to more tire up front to balance the traction bias. Ap1, generally less up front, or more in back/vice versa.

 

I have an ap1 and would probably do 225 up front and a 255 in the rear

 

Yes to fender roll.
