anybody have experience with these sizes? i have an AP1 dropped about 1" on eibach pro kit.

17x8 +45 front
17x9 +40 rear

I plan to use 215/45 front and 235/40 rear tires. The previous owner cut the rear fenders/bumper and ran 17x8.5 +42 with a 245 tire in the rear with no rubbing on a 1.5" drop. Do you think I will have issues rubbing without more fender work??

 

If your rear fender is already modified I would run either a 245 or 255 out back

 

I would stay with the 245/40R17 tires. You are going to be running a 1/2" wider wheels and a little lower offset which is pushing the wheels to the fenders more. You may need a little negative camber but with the fender work that has already been done that should do it.
If I can help with the tires let me know.

 

i may stick with the 235 since they are already on the wheels. i'm not sure the extent of the cut so i don't know if i want to risk putting on 245s quite yet with the wider rear and lower offset. will i have any problems in the front?

 

+1 on the 245/40/17 in the rear. You will be fine with that size and offset as long as your fenders are rolled and bumper tab relocated.

 

245 at least in the rear...

 

any more comments on the fitment of the fronts?

 

go 245. 235 would look weird in the rear
