Default 245s 17s all around?

How many of you guys run 245 fronts and 245 rears all 17s? how do you like it? with -2 camber up front would it be too much? what about on track days, cons and pros? sorry for the million questions, but im just really leaning towards this setup. Thanks in advance.

This is the set up that I plan to run. I don't think there would be a problem running them. You may need to roll your fenders depending on the offset.

i have 17x8 +28 in the front, 17x9 +35 in the rear, not really aggressive. -4 camber in the rear -2 in the front, all 4 fenders are rolled. The thing is i dunno how bad it is going to oversteer, or like how it will feel at all

I'm running 17x9 +45 all the way around, with 245's. ya the car does like to oversteer a little bit. You'll adjust to it. But I plan on goin back to staggered once I use up these tires.

-2 camber in the front -3 camber in the rear.

+28 up front "not really aggressive"?

I think you're going to have a hard time fitting 245s up front with only rolled fenders.

+55mm - 28mm = 27mm, over an INCH of difference!

Your going to need a flare at the front. As for you oversteer concerns you will just need time to adjust your driving. I don't think you will notice it if you are driving normally.

There are a lot of people using the 17X9 ET45 with 245/40R17 all the way around. A fender lip roll and negative camber is probably going to be needed.
