R 17x10 ET +5
Car is a widebodied SC so it's running a 28mm spacer on the rear.
Current tire size is 245 40 17 and 275 40 17.
Struggling to find matching front and rear tires here in Aus. I have come across Nankang CRS which make a 245 40 and a 275 35. the 275/35 would actually get me closer to stock circumference.
Seeing as most of my driving is on the street, not sure this would be too aggressive an option?
How about running narrower tyres.. 225/45 and 255/50? are these too narrow for the 9s and 10s? It would give me a lot more options.
Open to suggestions..

here is how the car sits now on the current rims and tires.

I know nothing about Nankang tires but the sizes 245/40 & 275/35 are perfect for those wheels, You will notice a considerable jump in the cars lively ness compared to 245/45 & 275/40
