Help with my setup!
 

Well I already know i want enkei rpf1's. and I want to go very very aggressive.
My original plan was to run 17x9's front and rear with 255's all around.
but then I wanted more.
So these are my thoughts as of right now

17x9 +45 in the front with a 255/40/17 tire (will be running wider front fenders)

rear: 17x9.5 +38, with a 265-275 tire (will be cutting quarters and runing over fenders. is this setup not aggressive enough with the rear over fenders?)

2 main questions here. if i run the 17x9.5 with 38 offset and a 275.. will it be aggressive enough for the rear over fenders?

and

tire suggestions? i dont want anything crazy expensive. i was looking at the kuhmo mx's because they have a 255/40/17 and a 275/40/17.. but the overall diameters are .6 inches different.. would that be to noticable? the direzza star specs dont come in the size i want in the rear.. I recently found the new Kuhmo ecsta XS's, which i thought were very nice and for a great price. they have the same size as the mx's but they overall diameter is .7'' different on the xs's, also the XS's are 3lbs heavier than the MX's

im open to any other tire options for the wheel sizes i have picked out. i want a very wide tire out back!

suspension will be low, with little to no gap, and i always ride with the stiffest setting i can set it to cause im young and my back can still take the bumps for now

thanks for any help given

9.5 +38 would be better with a 265 tire, IMO.

I'm in the same boat as you. Although my rim size is 17x9 +54 all around with rolled and pulled fenders.

I was thinking about running Azenis 255/40/17 front and 275/40/17 rear, but I'm concerned with the diameter difference.

So my same question, would that be noticable (having the "rake" look)? Also, will it affect the performance and/or speedometer?

anyone else want to chime in?

anyone? jim?

Anyone?

It will effect the speedometer due to the change in diameter from stock wheels/tires.

:hello:

So would 255/40/17 front and 275/35/17 rear work out?
