Best Tyre Size?

[DVSTRK]

Hey guys just trying to get some feedback on the optimum tyre size for my 17x9 wheels?

Cheers

[KiwiRS4T]

Optimum 245 or 255 minimum 235 max 265

imho 235/45/17

it's the most common size and is by far the cheapest option / you can get better rubber due to the cheaper price

Not worried about cost. Just want to get the right tyre for the rim. .

How about the profile guys?

Cheers for the replies!

What are you going to be using them form, how low is the car, what is the offset of the wheels?

235/45 for street driving.

255/40 for track, more grip. Harder to fit in the guards, will not have the tucked look.

[DVSTRK]

std hieght, +22 offset. street driving and the occasional twisties...

I run 255/40/17 on my GTR, they look perfect on the wheels and car. Only thing was I had to roll the rear guards but at std height you should be fine. Heres a pic not the best for looking at the tyres but something none the less.

I've got 245/45/17 all round, lowered, no rubbing. I did remove the inside arch/wheel liners though as they would scrub on that, plus they were worn and don't do anything.

[boiracer]

arent the stock GTR tires 255's? dont go smaller than stock...seems to defeat the purpose.

i love my 235/45/17...but i dont own a GTR. makes sense to me to stay large if money isnt and issue and you have the GTR guards to fill. id say go stock 33 GTR size(whatever than may be

Stock 32GTR is 225/50/16

[boiracer]

ah corrected thnx

[GTRsean]

Stock tyre on a R33GTR is 245 45 R17 on their 17x9inch rim.

A 255 40 R17 on a 17x9 is perfect and you can't get much wider than that anyway without costing a lot more...

i used to have 17x9 on my 33 and 255/40's fitted perfectly.

+1, same.

FWIW 255 is not the tread width, and there will be a little variability depending on what brand/model of tyre you get. You can usually find the actual tread width on the manufacturers website, and its the tread width that's important WRT rubbing.

I run 17 x 9 +22 wheels all round.

Tyres:

F: 235 / 45 / 17

R: 245 / 45 / 17

Lowered and no scrub.

[DVSTRK]

Thanks for all the help guys! Il probably go 255/40/17 allround.
