[quote=“theblue,post:17,topic:38795"”] that can’t be the ideal way to go for several reasons. [/quote] why not? I ran 245’s in the back on a 9 last year (just about square) and there is no way they would fit inside my fenders if i were lower without running alot of negative camber, which I dont want. this can be seen here: (already at -1.5\* in the back) This is the reason why im running a 235/40 rt-615 in the back. As for the front. its a 225/45 on a 17x9+20, which as it sits, sticks out even further than the back, so im dropping down the size to a 215/40 and running a more agressive tire and a little camber. I also dont need my tires rubbing my coilovers or T/C rods at full lock, which could be a problem once im lower. although im aware that no one on here cares about wheel fitment so I may as well be talking to myself. :blah: --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/will-a-215-45-17-fit-on-an-8-rim/38795)._
