Hey guys,
Some of you may no that I have some 17" Rotas waiting to be put on to my celica but I am not to sure on what tires to go with. For starters the wheels are 9" wide and +30 offset if that helps. I rang around today and one of the shops recommended 235/40 for the tire size. I can get an "average" tire for roughly $260 ea but not sure if I am getting ripped off or not. I was thinking of getting some Federal tires brand new off ebay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/4-NEW-FEDERAL-S...1e66dce32b#shId What do you guys suggest??? |

215/45 for major stretch - get a good tire for this to clear your fender, unless you are rolling
225/45 have some stretch too 235 have less of a stretch if you go 40, your walls of the tire are already skinny, you could also go with this but get something like 235/40. these numbers all depend on how low you go, your camber you'll use, or if its rolled, or how thick you want to keep it. and for more confidence on how they'll look go to www.tyrestretch.com, i was going to post some examples, but the network I'm in or the website is having problems.
