Looking for some insight as I'm new to RWD
Currently I have 17x9 and 17x9.5 RPF1s sitting in my garage as well as a full set of 225/45 Hankook V12s.
My original plan was sell a pair of the Hankooks and get 255/40s in the rear but I'm low on cash at the moment and my current tires on my AP1 oem's are getting dangerously low on tread.

So my question is if I run a full set of 225/45 on a staggered set of wheels will that affect anything?
Mostly worried about oversteering
Yes I am well aware of stretching tires and no I do not care at all.

 

If you are already stretching them and don't care about the negatives of that then not running them all around won't be any worse. You will have to be careful because you have less grip in the rear so it can be more prone to oversteer. Only think I can think of is the fronts will be less stretched than the rears so it will like like you have more tire up front. If this is only temporary and you are careful you should be ok just don't go blasting into vtec in a turn and end up in a ditch. My priority would be saving for the 255s and getting them on there ASAP.

 

Yeah id be saving up for a pair of rear tires. 245's at least on the 9.5. If they are rpf1 then those are probably the +38 you have and that means fender rolling, bumper tab relocate and a good amount of camber (-3)to make 255 fit back there.

 

ended up just buying 255/40s and put it on my credit card. #collegelife.
Thanks guys

 

I think you made the best choice.
