Hey I was wondering is there a difference in staggered wheels with staggered tires vs non staggered wheels with staggered tires? For example, if I had 17x8 all around with 225/45/17 fronts and 245/40/17 rears vs 17x7.5 fronts with 225/45/17 and 17x9 rears with 245/40/17. Thanks

If you're going staggered with the tires anyway, better to go with appropriate wheel widths at both ends rather than having sorta stretched tires up front and sorta pooched tires in back.

FWIW, 225/45-17 fronts will look quite beefy relative to 245/40-17 rears.
I'd go either:
215/45-17 F, 245/40-17 R
215/45-17 F, 255/40-17 R
225/45-17 F, 255/40-17 R

I had 18x7.5 all around with 225 up front and 255 on the rears, it was decent

I'm running 235/40/17 F and 255/40/17 R Nitto NT05 on 17x9 all around and they seem to handle excellent.

just bought a set of 18x9 +55 all around and the fronts came with 225s on the front and I put 255s on the rear... Has been perfectly fine for me so far, I will eventually go 255 all around after rolling my fenders and adding some camber

What do you guys think about running 245/40 on 7.5?

I am very tempted to put a 255 Nankang on my 18 x 7.5 wheels but am worried about safety and functionality. Got some pics you can post?

please keep nankangs off your car I haven't heard anything good about those tires... Try General Exclaims if you want to save money
