Have a 2010 XB
lowered with Tanabe df210.

Looking for help for the best fittment tire for my rims. as much rubber i can without stretching, hopefully without any issues/rubbing ect.. appreciate any help..TY

rim size-- 17x8.5 offset 20 (all 4)

change of plans.. going with a diff rim.. so for sell are these new in box, never mounted
4- esm 002r silver 17x8.5 et 20.. anyone interested, let me now
paid $1400.. sell for $1000 MY LOSS, UR GAIN...EMAIL FOR PICS

 

8.5 wide i would run a 245 minimum

 

Fuggin serious? Those will totally chew up the fenders of a xB2.

I'd recommend the OEM size for the 17" optional wheel: 225/45R17. Even then you may have to roll your arches.

Good luck.

 

245? The reason i post the quest. is becouse i did a test fit. of 225/45. xsevere your 100% right. I wanted that look..looks sweet. but damn, im thinking now rubbing issues.. I think the 8.5 is whats killing me right now, tire is past the fender.

just wanted some more info has anyone usd the same wheel size wih diff. tire size and have no rubbing issues without rolling.. or is rolling the answer now???

dude blkout, u crazy 245???

 

If you like the stretched look a 215/40/17 would probably work out for you.

Here's some pics. Note that different tire brands stretch a tad bit different.

If you want a tire more square with the rim and low profile go with 235/35

 

245's way too big, especially with the given offset. 225/45R17 is all that I'll recommend with that width and offset.

 

thanks

 

thanks

 

i agree

 

sounds good , ty

 

You're welcome. Just noticed in your first post you said you didn't want to be stretched. You may want to check out what xseveredveganx suggested, the 225/45. That'll have very minimal stretch, almost square with the wheel, and a bit more sidewall than the 215/40.

 

going in a different direction with rims.. Have 4- esm 002r 17x8.5 et20 for sale new in box.. Anyone interested let me know
