First off, my car is a '90 240sx hatch. I just picked up some a-tech competition wheels. 17x8 +22 front and 17x9 +27 rear. I'm looking to get as wide of a tire withOUT the balloon effect. I dont know if fender clearance will be an issue or not with this size. My original thoughts are 225/45/17 for the front and 255/40/17 for the rear...but I would like to get a lil more rubber up front for better traction in the turn and maybe even a lil more in the rear. Let me hear some suggestion and maybe even pics of how certain tire sizes fit on wheels about my size. Anything would be helpful
