Car right now is tucking just a hair front and rear 205/50/16 and can go up or down. It's rolled front and rear, rears are pulled slightly, fronts can be pulled a lot if necessary but the rear is difficult on a late vert.
    195/45 or 205/40. It should work with your fender pull.

      205/50, 215/45, 205/45...all work.

        5mm front spacers necessary, then you can go all the way to the ground.

          I'm looking to run a staggered setup for my spring/summer setup.

          Azev Type A's

          Front:
          16x7.5 ET 20

          Rear:
          16x9 ET 15

          The rear wheels currently have 215/45 tires mounted... what should the front be?

          Pic of the rear:

          I'd suggest 205/45 or 205/50 for the fronts. If you're anal about stretch and diameters being equal 195/50 is the best choice.

              Shit. Kumho doesn't make either of those sizes :(

              Would I be able to get away with a 215/45 up front too or would the ride/handling be seriously compromised?

                I admit I'm being lazy by not figuring it out myself.. hopefully you can save me some headache. 16x8 et35 front/rear on bilstien sports and IE stage 3 springs. If it fits what tire sizes would you recommend?

                Thanks,
                Chris

                    You can definitely run the 215/45 up front also. If anything expect better handling.

                      Doesn't fit but 15mm spacers all around can fix that. 205/50, 215/45, 205/45.
