I have an s13, 5lug, fno1rc 17x8 +25, coilovers.....

Can I make a hoosier r3so4's in 245/45's fit?

my 225/45 es100s barely clear..... but Has anybody tried it yet?

I got 6 of these tires slightly used, for free from a friend... Time to go to the track....

Probably not without a lot of rubbing...

I run 245/40-17 Kumho MXs, and it's CLOSE. A hoosier measures out wider in most cases...then add more sidewall to bulge...I don't think so.

Maybe on a 9" with a +10 offset or something...

Anyway, buy some matching fronts in 225/45-17 and use those on the rear...although they are still tall-ish.

So you would say a 15mm spacer? Or could I get away with 10mm?
