I just bought a set of fn01r-c, 17x9 +15 all around. I own a 97 240 w/ an eibach pro-kit. I'm planning on buying a set of KTS coilovers in the near future. I'm planing on runninf a 235/45/zr17 in fron and a 255/40/zr17 in back. I'm going to run NT555 for tire life and put some sticky rubber on the stocks. Will these sizes work?

yes

 

[sidewayz240sx]

yes

All I wanted, thanks guys.

id drop the profiles down 5mm for both pairs...

 

[brents240]

so you suggest a 235/40/17 up front?

 

[Whitebread]

why? 45/40 is good. 40/35 is too small.

 

[silviaks2nr]

Yeah, no rubber bands! those sizes sound great. Rolling will probably be necessary

 

[KiDyNomiTe]

Have you ever seen those sizes on wheels, they definately arent rubber bands.

Those profiles will have a bit stiffer sidewalls and it will leave you more room up front for clearance. I had 225/45/17s up front and it rubbed too much, they don't make 225/40s so i went 235/40s, a few mm shorter.

i've seen 235/45's on 17x8, so on a 17x9, there won't be any issues with clearance, and my buddy's car is pretty much slammed.

btw, sidewall profiles aren't measure in millimeters.
the 235/45/17's sidewall is based on the width of the tire (235) divided by 45%.
so the sidewall's height is 45% the width of the tire.

 

[brents240]

So 40% of the 255 10.16 inch width would mean a 4.064 inch tall profile?

Oh and thanks for all the replies guys. It's nice to know i woun't be buying two sets of tires.
