I'm getting 17" ASA AR1 wheels 17x7 F and 17x8 R from tirerack my question is can i ft 225 to the 7 inch wheel in the front and can i fit the 245 to the 8 inch rear tire?? Please let me know

I would go 215-45 and 245-40. Closer to stock stagger and 225 is sort of big for 7" wide wheel, though others have done it.

If you're not running a front sway bar the 215 will definitely be better.

I am running RO_JA titanium strut tower brace, so u thik 215's over 225?

Tower brace has a negligible effect on tire stagger, so 215 still recommended.

Thanks for the advice guys i ordered my new wheels today, 215/45/17 F and 245/40/17 R its getting shipped from delaware and i live in central jersey so looks like ill have them on monday, i should get an alignment after i put them on dont you think?

The set up you bought is the size I have sold the most of. They give a little more clearance and the stagger is closer to stock.

Jim@tirerack

I saw the order is set to go out today and you should have it there tomorrow. I wish you would have entered my name on the order though.
You will like the look on the car.

Congrats on your new bought, Bower! I like the look of the ASA AR1 and I was considering 17x8 for the front and 17x9 for the back but Tirerack hasn't got back to me whether they can get the 9" and the offset for 8" front and 9" rear probably won't work anyways.

Anyways, post some pics of your set on the car. I'm looking forward to see them.
