Brent C Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Well I have been going back and forth on this, I test fit some 255's on my 9.5 wheels and I do like how they look but I am not looking to pull fenders or anything other than roll the rear. I know I wont be able to stay as low as I am with the 255's. So should I stay with 255 or should I go with 245's so hopefully I can stay low? I also do not care for the too much stretch look, a little is ok though. Well here are the pics with the 255's and you guys please help me out. Sorry....PIC HEAVY.....lol http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc434/wantavant/Leggy/16D7E97A-1212-40D9-86B5-96F1D414FFAA_zpsyzxuujrc.jpg http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc434/wantavant/Leggy/134B7133-28AF-4C3C-93F2-D8880D8D2DF5_zpsvvmcnmp1.jpg http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc434/wantavant/Leggy/1077CD78-FCF6-4C04-8D50-59D187FFF855_zpsxx8lddck.jpg http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc434/wantavant/Leggy/FCCCF2B8-0369-4663-B5D7-8E17EA37E7D2_zpsujkfh2p6.jpg http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc434/wantavant/Leggy/1121F38C-DF0C-48D3-95D7-AC196DA86A65_zps4kkzx01p.jpg http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc434/wantavant/Leggy/5110941A-85DD-4289-91EE-794B5E25E329_zpsjksxlyut.jpg http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc434/wantavant/Leggy/AB33B13E-68BF-4CA6-A519-AD0FCE257465_zps96ij5pbj.jpg http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc434/wantavant/Leggy/77C7FA72-7A9E-4CBF-8648-9BF78F5B6ACC_zpsefqoa6fg.jpg http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc434/wantavant/Leggy/209C3EE9-9A7D-4406-A030-06708C31FD39_zpsazv9f5ok.jpg http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc434/wantavant/Leggy/3FA7A9F2-E6DA-4C23-9D65-D4FFBD875569_zpsoakqowen.jpg http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc434/wantavant/Leggy/3A2E70C3-1778-46CC-884F-6E94526FA521_zps75dkaal5.jpg http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc434/wantavant/Leggy/64EC052C-897C-4E65-9E9A-72702A82361F_zpsmxtrpjlr.jpg http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc434/wantavant/Leggy/8B45570A-66BA-474E-8BA2-BBD513EDB585_zpsi5p9jnca.jpg http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc434/wantavant/Leggy/228D1A73-4978-4150-9D62-8CAFE2940CD2_zpszic2hy1t.jpg http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc434/wantavant/Leggy/D60CF587-179A-4D84-BEBB-F8382AF3DBA3_zpstu3v7rem.jpg http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc434/wantavant/Leggy/F8F8D95A-14C6-45C7-8A84-612F81420168_zpsa7su53uv.jpg http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc434/wantavant/Leggy/AF2828EC-0541-42E2-A9CE-780D6E084C5E_zpszexqry0o.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredrik94087 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Poll says 100% for 255's. But, I think only my vote is there at this time "It's within spec" - SOA "Depth is only shallowness viewed from the side." - Fredism "So, how much did it cost for your car to be undriveable ." - Stephen (very close friend) "You have done so much it would be stupid to go back." - Sunny of Guru Electronics 2018Q50RS | 2015WrxThread | Shrek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredrik94087 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I've had 245/45/17 and now 255/45/17. There was a bigger jump in tread width going from 245/45/17 to 255/45/17 than there was from 225/50/17 to 245/45/17. Honestly, it looks like you can go even wider in your tire choice, but it depends on you being able to stuff it in there. I would have gone 275/40/17 if I could have. BrainchildCustoms is running 265.

Brent C Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Well i didn't have the balls to get the 255's so......... http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc434/wantavant/Leggy/71DC5897-6C51-4EC1-AF80-893E4C5B563D_zpstmvb0jmf.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredrik94087 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 ^^^ you will develop the confidence in time "It's within spec" - SOA "Depth is only shallowness viewed from the side." - Fredism "So, how much did it cost for your car to be undriveable ." - Stephen (very close friend) "You have done so much it would be stupid to go back." - Sunny of Guru Electronics 2018Q50RS | 2015WrxThread | Shrek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent C Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 ^^^ you will develop the confidence in time I know I will:), and the sidewall on the Toyo's look sooo much smaller than the Pirelli's that I did a test fit with. So the 255's would have probably been ok, lol. Oh well, for now 245's it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rear is perfectly flush, front is poking just a tad. I think +41 or +42 would be perfect in front. I am on Tein basis coilovers which are all the way down in front now:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, when I get some time I will snap a couple pics for ya but I am sure it is very very close to the perch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
