i want wider for traction personally and somewhat looks

Look up Strat81's sedan. The FNR01C's are 17x8 with 35mm offset and he is running 245/40R17. We rolled and pulled his fenders abit and the only tire damage was from the failed LZM trailing arm bushings.

Doesn't he have big brakes as well? Was thinking I saw him say once that he has big brakes that push his wheels out a bit further.
Actually if you could shoot me a few more that would be awesome.
I need a pic of width of the tire looking at it from the back. Also a height would be awesome.
It also looks like your running arp studs, did you use a is300 kit?

Do you rub at all?

ARP's are evo in the front, f-body in the rear. (national replacement hubs use a different knurl diameter than the factory wheel bearing studs... f-body's work on the factory hubs)
The rear had a bit of rubbing but i'm pretty sure it was caused by the faulty TTR bushings I had in the torsion beam. If i lower the rear, I'm pretty sure I would see more rubbing though. with a coupe you would likely be able to do a more aggressive roll/pull than I can on my sedan. (I run into the door jams and can do very little without cutting) without a roll and pull front and rear, i'm pretty sure they would rub.
OEM... i'll try to snap some more pics for you... here's one I have of the rear. For height, what are you trying to compare it to. I can take a pic from the side but i'm not sure it's what you're looking for.
Strat, that pic was perfect. I was trying to compair the height of your tires vs a 16" 225/45. That might sound confusing, sorry about that lol.
For the ARP's I noticed Is300 studs are prefect but are 2.6" long. I like the 3" long. I will order those.
Thanks man for all your help.
OH and BTW we have a roller we rent cheap. $25. Let me know

A buddy of mine had a roller that i used. not much more i can do without cutting.
i may have a pic of them next to a 225/45/17... ill have to check
Well its good to know those fit, and based on the sidewall on yours it doesnt look like I actually need to go 9inch wheel width for the 245's.
On a side note, anyone happen to know of the fitment of 275's on the front (only car about the fronts for this one). Because thats what my fenders/wheel well with be fitted for.
