  • 17x8/9 staggered tire suggestions?

    Going on an E30, I know 8" up front isn't much to stretch on, but I don't really feel like buying wider lips just yet.

    I'd like a moderate stretch with a decently grippy tire. I've read the Yok S-drives run wide, so I was thinking of 195/40 front, 215/40 rear.

    i'm running 195/45/17 on 8,5 + 215/40/17 on 10, here some pictures, not best to show the stretch, but...

      I'm running 195/45 and 205/40 on 17x8/9 staggered and I think is is about perfect, I have been toying with the idea of a 175/55 up front though haha

      Maybe a 215 would match the fronts stretch better, the rear is much more extreme than fronts.

        That's the thing, I'd like their to be equal stretch, but alas, no one makes a 225/40/17 that I'm aware of.

        The 195/215 S drive seems to be the only setup that might work for me. UNless anyone knows of another tire that offers both of those sizes?
