I just got a set of 17x9 Cobra R's and wanted to know if I put 225 tires in the front, will it look goofy or do I need 235? Is anyone running a similar combo?
Thanks, Phil

I'd go no smaller than 245s.

Doesn't it rub like crazy when you turn all the way, and what about the quads?

If you cut the wheel all the way it will rub a little bit. I took the quad shocks off. My 88lx i had 17x8.5 up front with 245/45 and they rubbed alot plus would rub the fender on a hard bump. That is why i went with the 245/40 this time.

225's look really bad, 235's look bad. 245's look ok, 255's are perfect!
