Default Work emotions?

Hey I've just got a set of work emotions and was wondering what tire size would fit with varis or asm front fenders and asm rear fender flares.

My rims are: front 17/8+47 offset

Rears are 17/9+44 offset

Will 245/45/17 and 275/40/17's fit ok?
Or, 235/40/17 and 255/40/17's

What do you guys think? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

asm front fenders are 25mm, varis 10mm

The rear overfenders are about 1 inch

The 245/45/17 and 275/40/17' combo has virtually the same circumference. I would work around that setup.

Looks like you will need the ASM front fenders to pull that off though.

245/45/17 and 275/40/17' are a tad bit too aggressive for the that set up.

Since the ASM Rear over fenders and front fenders widens up an extra "inch" more due to the extra 25mm, your best bet is to run the:

235/255 combo

265 is do-able, but you have to ensure that you actually cut the rear fender to ensure maxium clearnace to run the ASM over fender properly and run slight negative camber. IMO I'd run a 265

Thanks for the insight I've been thinking about cutting the rear fender for the asm overfenders to fit the 275's but yeah the 235/ 255 combo is for surte the safest.

Falken azenis don't come in a 265 in 17's.


thanks guys!
