Default Just Placed An Order

I just ordered a set of Star Specs in the OEM sizes for my AP2.

One question tho, whats all this talk about contact patch and narrow trewad design of the ap2 front tires? will I be ok with the star specs in stock size tires?

Time for questions is *before* ordering parts!

Anyway, no worries about stock AP2 sizes, don't worry about the fronts being wider than the narrowish stock fronts.

FWIW, 215/45-17 F with 255/40-17 are stock CR sizes on the same size wheels, that would have been another option.

Or the ever-popular 225/45-17 F with 255/40-17 rears.

We do a lot of the 215/45R17 front and 255/40R17 rear. It is the closest match to the OE staggered tires.
If I can help with anything let me know.
