Default 245/40's On 17x8 Pics!

as the title reads, i was a bit iffy on running 245/40's on a 17x8 at first but ended up getting a really good deal on some hankooks.. and after they were mounted i thought it was a perfect match.. they look and feel awesome! just wanted to post this incase anyone was in my situation of wanting a wide tire with an 8 inch wide wheel all around for some reason.. enjoy.. and will post pics of wheels on the car after i wash it lol

Wheels are 17x8+35 Non-Staggard Volk ce28's

Tire are 245/40r17 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo k110's

yea but only azenis in that size i think.. i google'd it and found that they run 255/40 azenis in that size no problem im guessing because of their really strong block like sidewalls? but other tires look bulgy and wrong in my opinion.. but havent personally tried

Sorry I havent been able to get any side shots just yet, but when I went to the track yesterday.. The tires held up awesome man.. Really sticky and predictable and as hot as I got them you can still keep going without having to slow down and have them cool off.. They get my thumbs up for sure and inwas able to put down a 1:37 for my 1st time ever at the track... Hankook Ventus V12 EVO's
