Well tire sizes im running now are 205/50 on the 17x7 front and 255/40 on the 17x9 rears, My cup kit is technically a 60/40 drop but its a custom kit from Weitec and the drop is closer to or a little more than 65/45. This is My Vortex Answer: 205/45/17 for the front 245/35/17 for the rear and someone also said it may be sossible to stretch a 215 on the rear?! so if you have suggestions im open to them! ---

Welcome. I’ve had many horrible prior experiences with 1.8T’s. Welcome and good luck. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hello-names-rich-new-from-pittsburgh/202743.md?page=1)
