i'm planning to get a set of 17X7.5 +43offset if rims. i have looked at the sticky thread for tires and come up with some question.i know the front i should put some 205 and rear maybe 225 or 235. any suggestion for the width. will 205 45 17 & 225 55 17 work? any advise will be good. thanks.

 

225/45/17 F,and 255/40/17 R.!!!

 

Wouldn't you be better off to get wheels that are close to the stagger of the OEMs front to rear? I don't think +43 is going to work well with 225/255 either.

 

215/45 F 245/40 R, will that work???

 

That size rim for the front will sit pretty flush and possibly be stick out a bit. You would be better off with an offset of over +50mm. On the rear, you should be looking at an 8.5" to 9" rim with an offset over +60mm. Then put a 225 tire up front and a 255 tire in the rear. At the very least, go with what the OEM set up is for an AP2 - 215 front and 245 rear in the appropriate aspect ratio.
Best to go with staggered rims.

"i know the front i should put some 205 and rear maybe 225 or 235. any suggestion for the width." Those ARE the widths. What is your question?

"will 205 45 17 & 225 55 17 work?" No, those won't work. You'd look like an SUV with those tall skinny tires.

 

Only with the correct rims.
