IF 255/45/17 all around...

THEN...

17x9.5 +15

-OR-

17x9 +30 all around.


Which, and why or why not.

Thank you,

i would go 17 x 9.5 + 15 and like a 265 or 285 cause i can fit 245's on stock wheels just fine. so why not go wider and not stretch

Thank you for the feedback...

I already have fresh 255/45 rubber on current 17x8 rims, so wanting to reuse. I don't think 255 is much "stretch" at all on 9", and minimal on 9.5"? (I would likely go 265~285 on rear next round.)

So +15 will "clear" on a minor drop at that size? This is my 1st concern.

Thanks!

you could just burn through your rear tires and then keep the 17x8s in the front and then get 17x9 in the rear. unless you want all new wheels....

Ok guys I just found this thread here are my wheel options

I have a set a mk4 wheels with brand new tire so I wanna use those tires

It's the xxr 527s

front 17 by 8.25 +25offset
Back 17 by 9.75 +25offset

Tires I have now are 245/45/17 front
And 275/40/17 rear

Do you guys see any running or issues

 

[Zrain25]

Rubbing or issues my bad

 

[hvyman]

Will need roll.

 

[Zrain25]

There is another meme we on another supra forum who has the same wheels and offset and he said he just needed to bend the inside lip of the fender just a tad so it not horizontal. I'm trying to contact him

I can't roll because one if my rear fenders has a bondo repair right where you would roll it

255 won't stretch on a 9.5" wheel. If you're not going to be "low", 9.5+15 will fit without a fender roll.

That is a roll.... A pull is what your thinking of

Then instead of rolling, cut the inside of the fender.

 

[Zrain25]

Ok cool thanks. Do you think there are any other ways to get rid of that lip cause of the bondo repair and the car just got painted. Could I just grinder and cut lip off and grind and sand the edges smooth

 

[Zrain25]

I just posted that u then u just posted to just cut it off lol... Cool I'm gunna do that you guys are awesome

255 won't stretch on a 9.5" wheel. If you're not going to be "low", 9.5+15 will fit without a fender roll.

Rodel,

Appreciate your input. Of all people, I KNOW you know wheels, rubber and stance!

To clarify, when you say 255 "won't stretch" on 9.5", do you mean it "can't" fit a 9.5" or that it's not MUCH of a stretch at all? If the former, then I shouldn't go over 9" width w/255... if the latter, then I'm good to go 9.5" w/ 255/45/17 +15?

Thank you,

255 is only a little stretched on 10in wheel. on a 9.5 it will be about flush.

You're welcome.

255 will fit on a 9.5", but it's not MUCH of a stretch at all. (Actually, there will be no stretch). You're good to go on 9.5"+15 w/ 255/45/17

 

[Wilcox]

thats good information to know
