225/45-17

will they fit with propper offset? I'm worried about the 25" diameter with a lowered car, and the lower rear arch. Any thoughts?

I've got them on the front, they fit well, but rub at full lock, on the chassis rail, turner steering stops would fix it though.

245/40's rear, love those pre-facelift arches!!

what kind of suspension are you running? I'll probably just hit up some h & r sports, or maybe some ie stage 3s. I still need to call ie and see what they'd rec. for a cabrio. You dont think the 4" tire wall looks to dumb with a 17?

Thanks

That's going to give you a 4.1% change in drive ratio, though...a 12.6mm difference in ride height. Personally, If I'm going 39 in a 35 I like to know I'm not really going 41...could be the difference in a speeding ticket.

Oh wait, you're invisimable.

235/40 is closer to stock diameter, and gives you almost another inch in your section width (That is, if you can fit an 8" wide wheel). 9.78" of rubber to the ground. That will keep you stuck. Err...that would be harder to break free from....nothing's going to keep you stuck.

haha, I just found a good deal on some Zero Nero M+S' in that size so I thought that instead of spending $600 on tires, i'd just get my speedo calibrated... SOMETHING YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO :)

I was under the impression you can fit a 235 on a 7.5" wheel...

you can fit almost anything to any wheel, Andre proved that.

The taller combo will make your car lifted and a hell of a lot slower. The 4 series would fit a bit better.
