Default HELP HELP HELP

I just got some work vsxx in 17x8/9 +30/+35. Might be getting some tires today and not sure what to get. First off not sure what size to really run. I want to run 225/?/17 and 255/?/17. The question marks is where I need help. What size there would be good for lots of spirited driving?


ps: Car is lowered with a finger gap

those are pretty aggressive and those tire sizes are going to rub unless you have your fenders rolled and pulled. i'd stick with the OEM ap2 tire sizes 215/45 and 245/40 and go with the OEM RE050's

you may need to run narrower sizes to avoid rubbing.

With those sizes and offsets they are going to rub unless the fenders are pulled out. Like others said stay narrow with the tires. I would say 215/45R17 and 245/40R17 at the widest.
If I can help with the tires let me know.
