    Default Tire size help – 04-01-2007,02:42 PM
    Aight. So I ordered some wheels for my s14:

    17x8 +35 front
    17x9 +35 rear

    I need help on finding a tire size that will best suit my purpose. The main purpose of my car is for drag/straight line racing, but I do enjoy an occasional run in the 'twisties.'

    What do you guys think?

    Thanks.

    The matching BBS wheels i had upfront were 16x8s, i dont remember what tire size they were but i dont think it would help u anyway since the sidewall size ratio would change from 16" to 17". i guess u could run a 235ish/40ish but thats just a random guess lol.
