Hi just looking into opinion on what wheel size I should run. My car is lowered and currently clears Volk GTC 17x 8 +43 front and 17x9 +50 rear 225 255 tyres, currently has 215 and 245 though. Fenders are cut and rolled with no flare or pull.

I'm tossing up between amuse spec 17x9 +40 or 17x8.5 +40. I track this car but still want it streetable. Does dropping a half inch aid in clearence? And should I get 245 all round or 255 advan ad08?.

Does the 8.5 lose much of the aggressive look?

There is a big difference between a 255 tire on a 9" +40 in the front and your current 215 on a 8" +43. You would need to flare the front to make that work and probably run at least -2 camber. 9" +63 would be the way to go for 255 non-staggered, but might not be aggressive enough for the look you want. A 8.5" +40 will only give you 1/4" more clearance than a 9" +40.

17x9 45 with 255 is a nice track setup.

Thanks for the replies, I understand I will need to flare the fronts, Camber is an easy fix too.

I'm going to get 8.5 + 40 in ce28, and run a 245 semi all round.

since I'm about to do the same thing but with 17x7.5F 17x8.5R what is the best tire size to go for? and best tire to fit on?

make sure to post some pics! Ive never seen a c28 in a 8.5 +40 setup before with 245's.

Volk says they don't do 17x8.5 that'll fit the S!

225s fit great on 7.5 and 245 on 8.5.

if you're doing this for track, then 255 all around on 9s is a great setup.

I've got a question about CE28N in 17x8,5 +40 . I've been searching info on fitting 17x8,5 +40 rear . I've got the rear fenders rolled . And I want to use OEM size bridgestone potenza re050 tires. Is this going to work ??
