: Hi there guys,
: I am planning on getting either Yokohama A032 R or Kumho V700.
: I need the tires for Autocross and am going to use them on my stock wheels. 17X7.5 F, and 17X9 R. I guess that you have the info that you need.
: I have Koni shocks and H&R springs installed and wanted to know what sizes will fit the stock rims without rubbing..
: I have heared that these tires are a little bit bigger than the others..
: Let me know what sizes I should order.
: I am looking to get them before the memorial day weekend for a race.
: Thanks a lot
: Shihab

To get into either of the tires you mention you would have to go to different sizes than the OE. To put a wider tire on the back of the car would make the car push(understeer) in corners. The car is set up so nice with the factory sizes that I would recommend changing. If you are going to go wider on the rear you would also need to go wider on the front. If you want the A032R you would need 235/40R17 front and 255/40R17 rear Let me know if I can help. Jim 800-428-8355 ext 364 Thank you
