who's running 245/45/17 in rear

[wearl]

went to get tires for car today . wanted 255/40/17, but not a lot in this size in stock. plenty 245/45/17. the 245 is .6 taller .4 narrower. any rubbing issue with taller size.

There are a lot of excellent 255/40 x17 choices, there is absolutely no reason to use 245 x17 rear unless you have the wrong wheel width or ET

Here are a few, there are lots of others

BS Potenza RE-11, Potenza RE070

Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec

Hankook Ventus R-S3

Toyo Proxes R1R

What size on front

[wildcat077]

Dunlop Star Specs in 225/45/17 and 255/40/17 is a great option for a street tire and they are also a great value for the dollar,on top of being outstanding rain tires for the track !

Cheers !

Byron,

You have way too many wheels ... those Forgelines would be exactly what i'm looking for as far as extra track wheels

Cheers !

I got 255 45 17 thinking it might be sorta close to rubbing but I could have gotten 275

i have some new euromeisters 17s and wanted some good all seasons. i do not track my car or really drive it real hard , but i do drive it when i get a chance. i looked at the falkens. i had them on my bmw and mercedes and they lasted a long time but the cars were not daily drivers. i spend most of my time in a ford pickup

Do you have any pictures of your 17" wheels? I'm about to order a set for my 930 and would like to see what they look like in 17. Thanks

[wearl]

i will take some picture in the morning and post them. they look like regular fuchs 16x9 , but 17. they are pretty lite also. i paid 690.00 with shipping for all 4 wheels because they had 10% off when i ordered. i am not a wheel expert but they are going to look DAM GOOD! on my car.

[BMAN]

Thanks, what offset did you get for your car?

[wearl]

they are 17x7 23 et front 17x9 15et rear

[BMAN]

So you run the same offset as my 930. Didn't know they were the same being mine has the larger fenders.

How long did it take you to get the euromeisters? Did it take a few weeks or months to get it. Im planning to get either euromeister or linea corse fox.

[wearl]

i got on the list in feb 2012. got mine last week . had forgot about it. but i think they were having problems with manufacturing. you should call automotion , might be able to get them now. i think they got 16s to. tires limited on 16s .
