CR wheels are the same as base AP2 wheels.

CR tire specs are 215/45 17 and 255/40 17.

Sweet, looks like 255 in the rear here I come.

255 in the back with a 215 up front = more understeer. I would go with a 225 up front.

dont forget the CR has stiffer sway bars and stiffer suspension to justify that setup. if youre not that modified or close to stock i would honestly stick to stock stagger.

depends on the tire tread width not just the tire size, what matters most is what's touching the pavement. my 215/255 with HTR-Z3 doesn't have the understeer of the RE050.
