17' Tire recomendation for staggered Style 32?

Post by corellian corvette »

I'm getting a set of staggered Style 32 wheels this week (8.5 front, 9.5 rear) from an e39 with the appropriate hub adapters. I understand the rear wheels will fit fine, but I need to be cautious of tire sizes on the rear, particularly on the inside.

Any recommendations for known combos that are the right overall diameter, but have no rubbing issues?

Thanks!

Great, thank you very much!

I have the 17" versions from an e39. Good to know you can fit that much meat - not sure if I want to be more conservative and go 225 front 245 back just to be safe...
