what tire should i run with tein s. tech? (searched)

[ViViDPeArL]

i got 17" racing hart 17x7 and i think it has a +37mm offset that i'm gonna put on my car. i was thinking about lowering the car with tein s. tech springs, but now i'm not sure what tires should i run so i don't get any rub. i was thinking about some 225/40/17. anyone think this will fit without rub?

i mounted the rim and looked for clearence. looks like you can't run anything wider than a 225 or else it will start to rub against the shock. guess i'm gonna go with a 215/40 combo.

just go for a 215/45 tire

looks like if i keep the same aspect ratio, i should be okay

stock is 195/60/15
16s i would use 205/50/16
17s i would use 215/40/17

Isn't 205/45-17 be closer to stock tire ratio?

BTW, are you only changing the springs and not the shocks? I'd do both of them all at once or get a kit. I only did my springs and not I regret that I didn't get a kit instead. And yes, I got S. Tech springs.

what kit are you talking about? body kit? camber kit? coilover kit? i want coilovers but i'm jsut so sick of how high the car is. plus show stoppers will do it for only 60 bucks.
