solo_ryder Im lowered 35-40mm and i dont think i want to go much lower, because i want to put my Combat front bumper on..
I have never bottomed out and allways drive accordingly to the conditions, i would do the 225/40 17´s but i cant get that size
215/40 17 may be the only way, but the rims are 225 wide, so the edge of my rims will be fairly unprotected
colinsmx3 Like i said 8 inches wide and off course a 215 tire looks god on a rim that is only 7 inches wide, thats why i want a wider tire because it will fit the rim better
Dont know the ET on your rims or how much you are lowered, but it will affect if you rub or not.
I had full clearance everywhere with 17x8 ET 35 with 215/45 17's on..
Bigb22 Hmm maybe im seeing something wrong here, in a perfect world i would like my tires to sit like |____|
If i run 235 my tires would sit like /____\ and if i run 215 they would sit like \_____/
Im thinking that the 215´s would unseat itself more easily, because the tire is stretched outwards and the 235 will be very well seated because the tire is a little wider than the rim and the lip will keep the tire from un-seating outwards??
Youre in the business, so please elaborate why a stretched out tire will give me better balance, than a tire thats a little wider than the rim?
In my head it would be the other way around, so if you could explain i would appreciate it..
