Default volk wheels and re-01r

i was so excited when i saw the new bridgestones.. awesome summer tires and they have great wet handling too?! this can't be true i thought..

i am running the 17 inch volk le28n setup with 7.5's up front and 9's out back. i see the re-01r comes in 225/45/17's for the fronts but there is an absence of the 255/40/17 size i need for the rears! damn!

so what to do? will they ever make a 255/40/17?

if not it seems pointless to try to mix and match re-01r's up front with some other tires on the rears.. do you think throwing neova's out back might be a decent match?

i just wish they made that damn size!

no 265's for 17" either. Widest 17" tire is 245.

Get the Advan Neova's at all four corners instead. It's the tire Bridgestone is tyring to catch anyway.
