My rims are 17x8 and I cannot decide to get either 235 or 225 BFG g-force KDW 2. I am also thinking of a 40 sidewall... any comments? What would you recommend?

 

a little information... I am lowered on H&R coilovers as well.

 

225 will give a minor stretch...not much...but very minor

thats what i'm running right now

 

Now why did you choose 225 over the 235?

 

1) cuz i'm low
2) a 225 wouldn't rub as much as a 235

 

if i could redo my setup which is 17x8 +35 with new tires, i'd go with 215s. primary reason being the constant rubbing

 

Im planning on the 235 or 245 for mine.... but Imma need the tires for racing. plus Im on colis so I can adujust height :D

 

The offset on my rims is 48, so I dont know if I should be so concerned with rubbing... am I right?

 

no you shouldn't sogo with the 235 size

 

go 235! hey matt, hows the H&Rs? Im getting mines tomo! does the car still nosedive when you brake? sorry to threadjack....

 

lol you sure, i dont want to be spending over two grand to find out that they rub

 

you should really ask enginfneer..he runs wide tires i think 245s? with the similar offset...

 

are you racing or just cruising?

 

a little of both. Not competition or anything just having fun on the track. I just really want a good combination for the rim.

 

I've been running 245/40 on 17x8 +46 since I got the car. No rubs.

Come... join Club 245. It's better here.

 

Hmmmm pretty tempting... How low are you now Doc? Still 1.4 inches?

 

^sick!!

right now i have 17x8 +46 with 235/45, i love the meaty look from the back of the tc!!

im definitely gonna do 245/40 when i have to replace these!!

Doc, you got any pics of how they look on your wheels?

 

This is still back on the TRD drop, I can't seem to locate any pics since the Teins went on.

 

well a 245/40-17 tire will stick out .5 inches and go .7 inches closer to my car with the 48 offset. With H&R coilovers I may have a problem with them rubbing against the shock...

 

wow! almost no difference in sidewall height then the 235/45's i have now! thanks!!

definitely gonna join the 245 club! lol
