I'm thinking of going with PF01 17x8 front +50 offset and 17x9 +60 offset.

What tire size should I go with to prevent rubbing?
(if i'm reading the chart right, it says I can go with 275 tires with 9 inch width in rear... but not sure if going with that will cause rubbing... In front i'm going to stick with the same size 215/45/17)
If i go with 255 rear tire, would it leave gap or something ?
thanks in advance
Your going to be sitting 5mm less aggressive up front and 15mm less aggressive in the rear on your new wheels. 255 would be the recommended tire size for the rear on a 9" wheel regardless of offset if you want a good sidewall/tire shape for good handling. A 275 would be pinched on a 9" wheel and not a good choice with overall diameter increase.

Would you recommend 255/40ZR17 or 255/45ZR17 for the rear?

255/40.

Keep your current wheels, roll the fenders, move the 225/45 to the front and get 255/40 for the rear.

First off apologies if this has already been answered, Can't get to grips with these VBulletin pages!

Got some PF01's. 17x8 +50 for the front and 17x9 +60 for the rear.

Is the general consensus tyre wise to go for 225/40 for the front and 255/40 on the rear?

I am only lowered on eibach springs and have OEM geometry and I don't want any scrubbing!

Thank you in advance

No because the right sizes are 225/45/17 and 255/40/17. They should be fine since you aren't that low.

Stock CR front is 215/45. I'd stick with the 225/45 front on a 8" wheel unless you think you will need the extra fender clearance of the 215.

Default Tc105n 17x9 +49 with 245/40/17 square

Would Tc105n 17x9 +49 with 245/40/17 square fit on my car at stock height without a roll or relocation? what about if I decide to lower my car?

It won't fit in the front. You will need a roll. Rears you may be ok depending on camber.

Thought I'd follow up on my question about tyre sizes.

Fit perfect in the arches with no scrubbing and look mega

Can't wait to get this AP racing bbk behind it!
