what size tires are you guys running?

i was thinking of either a 225/45 or a 235/40.

I am leaning more towards the 45 though because I want some more meat up front now. I think it would be okay since I will be using a 17x7 rim.

I have 225/45 only because Nitto drag radial doesnt come in 235. I had 235/45 on my last set of rims with no issues.

235/45's on mine, they work rather well, when my eclipse runs that is :)

do you have pics?

Same to you Terry, do you have pics of your new wheels and the NT-01's, because thats what I am getting for the fronts. And then I am going to do 18's in th rear with the 555's.

hope this helps

just the rim


rim from the passenger side

I will get a few picts tonihgt Mike. The rims i have now are 7 inch wide. The Niche's i have with the 235's were 8" wide. The NT-01's dont come in a 235 tire.

You might wanna checkout your local WALMART. They those 45's at a decent price and they the Goodyear Eagle f1 The V pattern forget which model but they look very aggressive. I saw them at the counter in the auto DEPT. the other day.

215/45. IMO, the brand/model of the tire makes more difference then that extra centimeter of tread width

225's are a bit big for 17x7 235 is crazy . im on 17x7 running 215/50/17 . I used to have 215/40/17's and i gotta say the extra sidewall meat makes the car feel amazing . it is way smoother of a ride

I have a 19x7 up front now and I am using 235/35's no problem.

I am going to do a 17x7 wheel up front with a 225/45/17 tire
and in the rear a 18x8 rim with a 245/40/18 tire.

I'm running 205/40/17

I've got 245/40/17s on mine now.

I am running 215/45/17 pics @ www.cardomain.com/id/fasterimage

I am running 215/45/17 also.

I'm personally running 225/45 R17 tires on my car with a 2 inch drop. Check my sig for pictures.

245/35 I believe. They are 8.5" wide.
