lookin at buyin some rota formels for my 03 rs-stock height with a 48 offset. with tires am i better off with a 40or 45 for height.been leaning towards the 225's but not sure which number for the height.i dont want to have any rubbing issues whatsoever,but do want the max performance possible.any help would be great!

 

i am guessing you are looking at 17" wheels

with that the proper/best fitting tire size is 225/45/17

 

yes i am looking at 17's-no rubbing with that combination???and whats better,
225/45 17 or 225/40 17

 

225/45R17 is what you want. 225/40 is too short unless you want it for autocross or something. I don't think there's much available in that size anyway.

 

thanks for the info,i greatly appreciate it.anyway these are the tires i decided to buy with my rims: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...47&rd=17&ar=45

 

will 225/45 17 tires rub on a 48 offset wheel 17inch????rub or no rub with this tire size stock heigh 03 RS??????

 

Probably not.

 

anybody have a definate idea???

 

Sedan.. no

Wagon.. probably not at stock height, but will rub if lowered a little and -1 camber.

 

thanks for the reply
