Default Enki tire size

Hi I'm about to buy a set of enki PF01SS for my 02 s2 keeping the staggered set up

Front 17x8 +50
Rear 17x9 +60

I'm wondering how they would fit flush with like 2 inch drop? With what tires.

Don't mind rolling fenders

Any help would be nice lol

Hello just to give you heads up I had PF01ss in white 17x8 +50 in front with BF Goodrich G Force KDW 225/45/17 and 17x9 +60 in rear with BF Goodrich G Force KDW 245/40/17 and I was dropped 2 inches on Skunk2 Pro C Coilovers and my camber was at -1.5 front and -3.5 rear and I hit a dip turning and smashed my right front fender. As for the back I had no problem. Someone told me I was to low. Hope this helps you not make the same mistake I made.

Its not higher. The second number in the tire size is a % of the first number so to make the front the same height as the rear you need a larger % of the first number because they are narrower.

As for what tire to go with that all depends on how much you drive the car and in what conditions you have to drive it. There is a big difference between only driving on nice sunny dry days and having to drive the car no matter what the weather.

As for the offset the ones you posted should be fine and you won't need a roll unless you lower the car. If you run any of the higher offsets IE +40 you will need a roll no matter what. The offsets you had in your OP will sit very similar to stock.
