    Wheel and Tyre gurus

    Ok, so im hoping to have my wheels fitted for JAE this year.

    The wheels in question: Nismo Lmgt2 17x8 ET35 and 17x9 ET38

    Currently have the following tyres on 225/45/17 and 255/40/17

    I am wanting to put on new tyres all round, specifically Federal 595RSR's

    Now my questions are such...

    I would like an ever so slight stretch on the tyres, but dont want anything riDICKulous so am thinking along the lines of these (also bearing in mind that the Federal tyres aren't available in every tyre size under the sun:

    Fronts: 215/45/17

    Rears: 235/40/17

    What are peoples thoughts, are the tyre sizes I want wrong for the wheels? will the rolling radius be really far out?

    Or am I best sticking to the original tyre sizes and deal with the non stretched look

    Also, I will be properly rolling my arches too

    Help gurus help!!

    example of mine for you

    front - 9x17 et-7 (215 40 17 595) slight (very) stretch

    rear - 10x17 et-7 (235 45 17) more notciable but not much - sometimes run a 225 on the rear which is a nice stretch

    Lol

    Took me lots of searching through many websites a few months ago. But funnily enough the place that stocks them is Max Powerz own favourite.... Demon Tweeks (albeit in their motorsport section though which is pretty damn good)

    Awesomeness, I will be looking into ordering in the next few weeks then.

    Cheers for your input guys
