Tire Sizes on 17X11 and 17X9?
What is the best tire size to use on a set of 17X9 fronts/17X11 rears on a 930? What's the widest shoe that will fit without rubbing? I plan on lowering my car to euro spec, will I have to roll the lips? I see alot of you using 315 on back, can I go wider or is that too big? how bout in front? what size spacers do I need with a set of Kinesis K27?
thnx
thnx

Generally 245/45 or 245/40 front and 315/35 rears are most popular and easier to find tire sizes. I use the BFG g-force. Since I'm much lower than euro, I'm using 245/40 in front for a bit more clearance on my cut lips. Whether or not you will have to roll the fronts really depends on the offset of your particular wheels, alignment settings along with some of the clearance variances of different cars. Since Kinesis are custom built, without more info it's impossible to tell what spacer you might need.
