So I just picked up a set of 17's that already had tires mounted. Size is 245/40R17, Wheels are 17x8 +45. does anyone know if they will fit on the front and rear?
My educated guess is that I can throw them in the rear and can not in the front.

 

Im gonna imagine that most people are rolling 7.5+ on 18s for width, with i believe the recommended offset being 35-40ish. unless thats already pushing it on an 18x8, i dont see why +45 wouldnt work, 5mm really isnt that much of a difference. you'll just be tucked slightly more.

as for the tires, really not sure, there might be rubbing depending on the springs your on, but the sidewall series is pretty small, so not particularly sure on the tires.

My guess is that it should fit, but you have the 17s, and theyre already mounted, give it a shot?

 

well here's where i'm at so you should be fine. and i know someone is even a little more aggressive then me.

Front 18x8.5 +37 Rear 18x9 +40

 

what size tires are you running?

 

205/40/18

 

 

ok so worse case senario looks like I might rub a little in the rear, not bad... I will keep people posted, I am putting them on today

 

sweet,

Definitely keep posted, those shoudl be nice and grippy.
Picks'd be awesome as well.

Once i save up the last bit to get ahold of some BBS RS's in 17s im going to be looking for some smaller, grippier tires for the OZ's that are on the car now for the occasional autox and spirited backroad drives..

Im guessing these came off of an SRT4 or a Subie?

 

Damn good call, came off an SRT4

 

Hehe, seemed like the only cars really that id run that kind of tire on, crazy tuned celica or veedub, maybe, but veedubs look waaaay better with stretched tires

 

oh and FYI i don't rub.

 

Awesome, depending on whats available , im hoping to go +20 or 0 off. with the RS's, hopefully when i get my financials sorted, ill be able to find 5x100 so i dont have to make space for adapters or have them redrilled.

 

245/40r17 mounted on 17x8 +35et will fit on a TRD lowered xD with no rubbing!!!!!!!!

Pics will be up by monday, I dont want them to leak out onto the intranets before the first show of the season!

 

Awesome, cant wait to get a look!

 

got 235/4o/17 with TRD. want car lower. just be careful when it rains alot. yer hydroplane like a mother. I do for sure. steamroller+lots of water=boating

 

Oh yeah this past winter had some crazy raining. And yeah goin wider had some fun hydroplaning. Well sorta scary.

 

It's Tuesday, where are the pics?

 

Agreed

 

Wellesley! where da pics brah?

 

Sorry guys I came down with something and have been out of commission since monday.
These are the temp pictures I have for you guys.




after some more driving I have rubbed a little, but after investigation the rear tires are hitting the very edge of the rear body kit, I'm sure that with stock bumpers there would be no rubbing at all... I'll have better pics when I am feeling 100%
