In Reply to: Jim or Aaron - would this size work for me? posted by Racing 7 (E23) on February 09, 2001 at 18:12:43:


I have BBS RCs size 17x8.5 and am running 235/45-17 tires. This package was purchased from Tirerack. Can I run 245/40-17? I figure the tire would be approximately .40 inch wider but .30 inch less in diameter. I have negative camber plates all the way around. The only area I see potential problems is the tire could rub on the front strut tower...

We don't show the 245/40R17 would fit on the front without rubbing. The tire is OK on the rear. If I can help let me know. Thank you
