The way they sit on there they look like 245-255/35/17s to me. Thats a big tire. You could run 215/40 or 225/35 and have alot more room ---

clearly he doesnt if he is running a 255isjh tire at -3\* of camber. At that camber i doubt he has even half a contact patch where if he was running sat a 225 he could have almost zero camber and be using the entire 9" tread pattern ---

Drifting is fun as hell man, especially when tandeming with multiple cars. But yeah I dont want to ruin KBB’s thread. ---

My concern is cutting bumper tabs, but I change my mind a lot and may say fuck it haha. Apparently the 17X10 +45’s require less work to fit so I may go that way too. Not sure yet… I’m not going to track the car or race it, just occasional spirited driving on a twisty road so I’ll do more research and see what might work best for me. ---

I’m running 225/45/17 on a 17x8 +45 rpf1 on the front and a 255/40/17 on a 17x9 +45 stock height with UK alignment. No issues daily driving. I do rub on fender tabs pushing the car hard. Feels great and I also run quick times at autox. Star spec tires. ---
