    205/50 front 225/50 rear?

    Just curious if anyone here is running this kind of setup? I need to order new tires and due to the wheels offset/size I can only fit 205 (215 MAX) at the front, but the rear can easily fit 225.

    I understand I'll limit my choices for tire rotation, but other than that?

    interfering on the outside edge? if so, i vote roll the fenders and equal tires all the way around. $.02

      On the inside, 225 on et35 will rub on the strut tube :(

        wait, what happened to the TR C1s? you are still going w/ those, right? i know it's not MY money i'm talking about pulling out of your ass (i'm still trying to negotiate a set of 225s out of my bank account myself), but i think you'll be happiest if you go with an optimal wheel/tire setup at once rather than doing it in "stages".

        roll on what you've got until then. it'll make you a smoother driver ;)

          Yeah I did order TR C1s in 15x8 but I think I'll mount the 225/50 v710s on those?
