Default How is this set up?

On the wheels- Work Emotions 17x7 +47 17x8+47

Falken Azenis St115 215/40/17
245/40/17

Is this the optimal set up?

How are the ST115 compared to other tires in situations like auto-x?

Thank you!

The size of the tires need to be 215/45R17 and 245/40R17. The 47mm offset is low but with those tires they should work.

Bump- can anyone tell me how much of a difference going from a x/45/x to a x/40/x will be?

don't understand what you're saying...what Jim said is the size you need have unless you want same size all around which in you're case I don't think that's what you're going for...

Well I already have these tires in that size.... should I get new tires? Will it effect my handling that much? I think it will bring a bit of oversteer?

Falken St115

......................Diameter.........Tread width
215/45ZR17......24.6...................7.7
215/40ZR17 .....23.8...................7.4

Stock S02's are 25" diameter so your 215/40's are 1.2 inches shorter, which is significant.
