215/45 Or 225/45?

[David32]

Hey guys i bought a set of drift teks 17x9 35p with 225/45/17 tyres and 17x9.5 18p with 245/45/17 tyres. I have a 4 door r32 gtst and was wondering whether I should go for 215/45 or 225/45 for the 17x9.5s as I know i can't fit the 245s on the back. Im goin to hammer my rear guards. I'm thinking the 215 would be the way to go since I don't have money to roll my guards atm lol Any help would be appreciated

I wouldn't try to put 215s onto a 9.5" rim. Stretch is stupid. The correct tyre size both for the rim and for an R32 is 235/45. If you need to go smaller than that, then 225 would be my choice.

But really, if you don't have money to make them fit properly (ie, roll the guards), then perhaps don't fit them until you do.

The 235 on the 9.5 is good and its still a nice stretch 215 are borderline for the 9 no way should you put on the 9.5

Ok sweet thanx guys yeah think I'll go for the 225 for the 9.5 and get 215 for the 9s and just save up some money to get my guards rolled

Aaargh.

For the 9in you need minimum 235 and ideally 255 (like me )

and for the 9.5 245 minimum or better 255 or 265

If you can't afford the right tyres sell the rims and get some 8in or so.

You can roll the gaurds yourself for nothing - tutorials on U tube
