Hello,
I just bought BBS RC 035 & 038, 8Jx17 (et 20) front and 9Jx17 (et 22) rear.
What do you think is the best choice for tires?
I'm considering 225/45/17 front and 255/40/17 rear.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

The standard is 235/45x17 and 265/40x17 but the 265's are hard to come by so 255/40's will be fine.

It is by a tiny amount so it is no problem - it does not affect ABS or handling at all.Snizinskas wrote:Yes, the 265/40 is hard to come by.sharkfan wrote:The standard is 235/45x17 and 265/40x17 but the 265's are hard to come by so 255/40's will be fine.
In the case of 235/45 and 255/40, is it not a problem that the front will be higher than the rear?
