Im getting a set of Work Emotions CR Kai's and my car will be SLAMMED on coilovers....
The sizes are:

the front is 17x8+47 and rear is 17x9+44

What would be a good size rubber to run on these?!
I would like to run as THIN as possible in the front...(30 or 35)
and dont really care how thick or thin in the rear....
ALSO...
I know someone who is running 225/45/17 fronts 245/40/17 rears, on that but was wondering if i go 215 in the front will it still require a fender roll??

Thank you
and sorry if these are NOOB Q's....

 

I'd go with 225/45/17 front and 255/40/17 rear

If you're slammed then you'll need fender rolls with these wheels no matter what tire sizes you pick I think

 

If you go with 215 front your tires will be streched and it won't rub if you slam however if you go with 245 or 255 at the rear you'll need to roll for sure.. Also i believe if you go 225 you would need to roll your fenders at the front as well or you could try some high camber

 

stretched tires =

you're better off with rolling and pulling

 

Tires won't stretch too much in the front or rear. You need to roll your rears for sure. You can do 215/45/17 f and 245/40/17. or 225/45/17 and 255/40/17.

 

Thank you guys for your input...
So it is settled 255/40 in the REAR...
and in the front ill go 225/??
My next question...
Should i go with anything thiner than 45 in front?
maybe 35?
what are the pros and cons of either way?


I just like the look it will give with lower profile

thanx again

 

tires will not be stretched at ALL if you go with Potenza's, I have a 215/255 setup on these wheels

 

plan on rolling your rears for sure. if you are gonna slam the car plan on rolling the fronts as well because if your slammed and you go down a driveway wrong this happens..

 

my .02: 215/40 in the front and 255/35 in the rear. the fronts should fit fine with no rubbing, maybe 1 degree of negative camber needed. and as for the rears youll probably have to roll for a 245 anyways so why not go 255.

 

So this is what im finding out...
the 225/40 is somewhat hard to find tire...
where as 215/40 is alot easier...
so to recap,,,
im gonna roll all fenders..
255/40/17 Rear
215/40/17 Front

ahh i cant wait!!!
