Thought it would be nice to make a single thread with all the info. Please post up your wheel and tire combinations in the 17" sizing.
Would love if you could follow this template Rim Manufacturer: i.e Volk Rim Sizing including offset: i.e 17x8.5 ET40 FR 17x9.5 ET45R Tire Sizing: i.e 235/40FR 255/35R Suspension: i.e Factory or Coil Overs and Fender Rolling Required Usage: i.e Commuting, Winter, Drag, Road Course, etc Picture if possible I will try to organize them into categories, like Snow Setup and Track Set up. Thanks! So far I've found these while searching Nokian Hakkapeliita 8 (Thank You Gepeto) 17x7.5 ET35 SQ 225/45 SQ Normal Usage / Alutec Grip Graph (TY drivethemachine) 17x7.5 ET45 225/45 Pirelli Sottozero 3 Stock Suspension Kosei K4R (TY Pikcachu) 17x8 42ET 245-40-17 RE-71R all around M4 LCA's in the front Picture is from a website Monte Titano MT2 Pari (TY Zooks527) Sizing Unknown ATM 225/45 BBS RS (TY FIRST1) 17x7.5 ET35

Rim Manufacturer: Kosei K4R
Rim Sizing including offset: 17x8 ET42 square Tire Sizing: 235/40 square (Bridgestone RE-11's) Suspension: Factory Usage: Street driving & Road Course Unfortunately I don't have any good pictures from a distance. In the one attached you can see the large gaps between the tire and wheel well. These are very short tires. |

Good question. I was experimenting with tire height. From what I understood if you reduced tire height it would effectively act like changing the rear differential gear resulting in quicker acceleration. I really wanted to get below 11.5 in ¼ mile and I was at 11.6. Obviously this wasn’t optimal for road racing (narrower contact patch), but I figured it was only slightly narrower and would be good enough.

As it worked out I didn't have the tires/rims long at all. Had a bad tire and in the process of diagnosing the tire shop managed to damage the rims. All of it went back to Tire Rack and the Kosei's were then out of stock, so I had to find a new options which ended up being 18". |

What offset? I am eyeing the Apex ARC-8 17x8.5 +40 squared. It's a E36M fitment used on the fronts. I guess there's only one way to find out if they fit or not. They told me that they don't recommend them but I'm almost sure that they just haven't test fitted them yet. I'm willing to try. This summer hopefully.
