      I kinda feel the same way. LOL with my mustang I used to put a 275/45 on my 17"x8.5"s.

      Since you are in the bodywork industry Vlad, I'd love to see you do some super wide fenders on the back of that thing and put some 255 or 265 series tires on those. ;)

      BTW, mind if I shoot you some PM's with some bodywork questions I have? I'm going to do some wide FG flares on my project car and had some ???'s.

            I can hire you if you know how to do bodywork and you have tools

            :up:
            I'd do 215-45-15 rear and 205-45-15 front... but that's me.

                  that's exactly what I am going with... just having a hard time to find 215/45/15 tires. Except for Toyo Proxes there seems to be no other choices :down:

                          Here's one with right size tires, it looks bad IMO.

                              well that looks kinda retarded...i mean 215/45/15 is wayyyy to short. im running 225/40/16 on my 16x9 and it still has a descent stretch and fairly close to the stock height, so my speedo isn't all fucked up.

                                T1R is a descent tire though! Descent for a stretch and it's pretty sticky too.
