I have 255/45/17s on my stock 17x8s and love them.
i have 245 45 on my bullits and imo they look to small
http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/5560/hpim8857.jpg These are Falken Azenis 615,s mounted on stock 17x8 inch rims. I,m running 275/40/17 out back with 255/40/17 up front. No issues at allIm thinking either 255/45 or 245/45 or mabe 255/40
245/45 is stock. Which would be the best traction?
Im going with nitto 555s i think btw
do you have any pics of them? thanks for your input
im finding it hard to decide 255 or 245. Im going 45 height though i think, although 255/40s are pretty close to stock tire diameter.
you notice any difference in handling?
I would personally stick with the stock 245-45, and I do.
The 255-45 adds quite a bit of cost, significantly reduces your tire selection and adds needless weight. It doesn't really give any benefit and in my opinion, it looks slightly bulged. I personally think a 245 is the widest you should go on a stock 8" wheel... which actually measure closer to 7.5"!
I paid $70 a tire for my HRTZ 255-45 17s, I don't think that's expensive
i had 275's on the rear of mine with more bulge than i wanted so when i bought new tires i got 255/45/17 all around. worked fine for me hooked up decent.
if your going to spend the money on nittos i would get some larger rims for the rear say 10" so you can put 295's on it and hook up really good. then get at most 265's for the front.
