Tire width question

06naSTI · 12-29-2006, 07:56 AM

I would link to go a bit wider than stock tires. Maybe 235/45/17 with the stock 06 BBSs. I am also getting the JDM STI Pinks which is a bit lower.

Would I run into any rubbing issues with this setup?

No you will not have any rubbing issues enjoy your car.

RE070s are very wide for a 225/45/17, I bet they are very close to many 235 width tires.

i am currently running Michelin Pilot PS2 245/45/17 (stock wheels) and no problems at all, ive driven about 100 miles with them, they are amazing, i cant loose traction! my friend has them too, but his car is lowered so it rubs in full wheel lock parking maneuvers but other than that no problem at all.
