i just recently got a set of rpf1s 17x9 45mm all around, and am currently running the stock 245s on the front (until they go bad) and new 255 star specs in the rear, i am quite low and front and rear fenders are rolled etc but i had to raise the car a little for the fronts to be okay and they are fine now but i really dont think that 255s will fit in front without major fender flairing in the front if i end up putting those tires in front too which leads to my quesiton...

Should i forget the hassle and when the time comes get 235's in the front, or does anyone know if the sebion fenders (+10mm) will be able to fit the 255s with a major drop, the only reason i hesitate from flaring the front a lot is that im just not much for the look but i guess thats also a possibility too

Let me know your opinion...thanks ahead of time

 

I would not try the 255/40R17 unless you are planning on pulling the fenders out. I really don't think you would need the 255 on the front anyway. I would think they would cause the car to tramline.

 

i was just hoping to go for a square setup and the handling already from 245s in the front is great and my fronts are slightly pulled im just looking for opinions

 

For a truly hassle free fit you need at least asm fenders. Seibon wouldn't cut it.

Either that or pull the oem ones

 

ehh ill probly just pull out the fronts eventually but when the time comes for new tires just get 235s for now

 

235/40, right?

 

I would not run a 235/40R17 on the car. They are shorter than stock by 1/2" and can throw off the anti lock brakes.

 

It's a better option than a 235/45 though and I haven't had any issues with ABS.

 

yea ive also herd the 235/45s are too tall comepared to the 40s any comments on this?
