This is what I will run when it comes time to change my tires.

The 215 up front is an upsize from the stock 215 as the stock RE050 stamps like a 205. The rears are self explanatory. Go ahead and order.

BTW, how much and where?

225 would be better for the front.

I am gonna go with 225 and 255 when I get a set of the RT-615.

225/45 and 255/40.

i personally think 225 is too much. you might rub if your lowered aggressively. i think the tread with patch difference btw the 215 and 225 is .3 inch.

I just got this set-up recently, and I have to say I'm very pleased with the 615's in 215 f and 255 r. Turn in is very good, and ultimate grip is tremendous...even relative to the S02's. I have no problems with rubbing-I'm running 17 in SSR GT7 with approx. 1/2 in drop, on a Koni and Eibach suspension.

I think you'll like the set-up, but you can't go wrong with either!!

I just got 225/255 on my AP2, and I'm veeeery happy!

There is more oversteer balance but the outright grip is tremendous, and though it feels like the back wants to step out more my limits are so much higher now!

I'm going to get the european spec alignment here in the next couple days, and from what I can tell that should make the balance a little more neutral again while still bringing my limits even higher

i have falken 451s on 18s

225/40 front
245/35 rear

no problems whatsoever and my car has eibach lowering

Jim@tirerack

A lot depends on the width and the offset of the wheels as to whether it will rub. I like the 215/45R17 to be matched with the 245/40R17 rear. The 225/45R17 matches better with the 255/40R17 rear.
If I can help let me know.
