17x9 tire sizes - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

rancid240 · 01-25-2005, 05:54 PM

I am currently running 205/55 on my 16s, and want to go with a similar overall tire height when I go up to 17x9s. So I was thinking 235/45, seems to be a popular stock size so I will be able to find it used easily. Any other size suggestions? Right now the car is on sheepdog springs so isnt low enough to tuck tire, but the wheel has a 22 offset and I dont want to have to pull the fenders (I am ok with rolling the inside part)

Are you trying to run wider tires? I'm sure you can go up to 255/45 or 40 all around. I was at -3 camber up front at the time according to the alignment guy but it looks pretty much the same after he aligned it.

I run a 245/40 in the rear on mine, not bad. Gives it a little bit of a stretch look...not much though.
