What's the norm for 17 inch wheels in a lowered car? Any kind of rubbing?

View Full Version : What tire size are you running on 17 inch 8 width? Mr 535i 10-09-2007, 10:26 PM What's the norm for 17 inch wheels in a lowered car? Any kind of rubbing? E34nication 10-09-2007, 10:27 PM 235/45 front 255/40 rear. No rubbing. 4500 RPM 10-09-2007, 11:52 PM Same as above The fronts look a little tall but they're correct. I wonder what a 245/40 would be like (and 265/35 rears being staggared) Ichbinsobose 10-10-2007, 12:00 AM I run 235 up front 255 out back would 265/35's fit on a 17x9 throwing star under the back? 4500 RPM 10-10-2007, 12:29 AM I run 235 up front 255 out back would 265/35's fit on a 17x9 throwing star under the back? Yup. jspaulding46947 10-10-2007, 04:28 AM I've got 235/45's in the front and 265/40's in the rear with no rubbing pacecar78vette 10-10-2007, 02:24 PM 245/45's all the way around, no issues at all cary 10-10-2007, 02:36 PM 235/45/17 all around. You can go wider in the back, but IMHO, the E34 already pushes quite a bit, fatter in tires in the rear will only make it worse. orientblue 10-10-2007, 08:53 PM 235/45 up front, 265/40 in the rear with no rubbing, but my wheels are 8.5 and 9.5 respectively. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff256/orientblue/DSC00179.jpg ohnoes 10-10-2007, 09:04 PM Guys, he asked about 8" wheels, not 8.5", 9.5", or 13.5". :stickoutt I was running 225/45s and 255/40s in front and back, respectively, on 17x8" ASA AR-1s. Definitely not ideal width in back, but I think that's the only size those AR-1s came in. sarends 10-10-2007, 09:14 PM I am running 235-45-17's on 17 x 8 Throwing Stars. I have played around with the air pressure on my Goodyear F1s and I like: 29 PSI Front 32 PSI Rear I don't think I would like the additional push added by a larger rear tire and I quite like th handling of my car right now - pretty well balanced IMO. I am going to take her to a driving school in the Spring - I am anxious to see how she does. atl530i 10-10-2007, 11:02 PM 235/45 front 255/40 rear. No rubbing. That is what I had when I had Style 66's on my car. I think that is the safest setup you can run with without and fender rolling or rubbing the strut towers. 96cosmosM3 10-11-2007, 12:07 AM I run 235 up front 255 out back would 265/35's fit on a 17x9 throwing star under the back? You can run 275/40 on a 9" wheel. 93FIM5 10-12-2007, 08:31 PM 245/40 all around on 17x8 throwing stars and the car handles great (No pushing like when I had them staggered at 235 front 255 rear. Im looking at fitting 265 all around on 17x9 throwing stars next, just need to see what type of spacers Im going to have to work with. Analog 10-12-2007, 08:39 PM 215/45 rubberbands :( Blutarsky 10-13-2007, 03:41 AM 245/45 on 17x8 T-Stars. luv this setup, though staggered rears would be toight 5271990 10-13-2007, 06:46 AM 225/45 all round, they're cheaper :rofl Mr 535i 10-22-2007, 09:31 AM 245/45-17 on lowered cars? Lot's of potholes here, I need the rim protection without rubbing of any kind. |
