I'm having trouble finding a good set of tires for a set of staggered wheels. The specs are: 17 inch diameter, 8.0 inch fronts, 9.5 inch rears.

Any suggestions?

Ship them to me. I'll be able to find a set that works!

I think 235/275's would work well. I have 225/285 on 8's and 10's. The 225 is a little small for an 8" rim I think. That's why I say 235 for the fronts.

Street or race tires??
A 235/255 combo should work well. You could probably squeeze 255/275, but that may be pushing it.

I'm running 255/40R17 on the back and 225/45R17 in the front.

Is that on 8.0 fronts and 9.5 rears? I was thinking 235 or 245 on the front and 265 or 275 on the rear. The main problem I'm having is finding a brand that makes a set in some combination of these sizes.

I did find a couple brands this morning that make 235/45 and 265/40 sets, so I was leaning towards that setup.

The 235/255 combo is readily available, but I was thinking 255 was a bit narrow for a 9.5. I've had 255s on 8.0s, so I'm worried about them looking "stretched" on a 9.5" wheel.

Don't want this...

Getting the staggered match is more dependant on the sidewall profile.

I run 235 front on 8 and 275 rear on 10 with Khumo

1 run 245/40/17 and 255/40/17 works great only under extreme turns w/ dips does it give me the smallest rub sound my fronts used to be 225/45/17 but the new size is better all the way around

Damn, did you get another set of wheels Mike! What happened to the twists?

Mike Murcia

Yeah, it's a new set. The twists are still in the picture, as are the 18" cups.

These were a good deal, and they've never had tires mounted. I'm not sure which I'll end up keeping, but I like the idea of having 17s and 18s. Now I just need some tires in time for spring.

Are those Techart Daytona's in 17"? Didn't know they came in 17... They look fantastic by the way!

87944turbo

They look great, having to choose between those sets would be tough. I really do like how 17s look on these cars and that is a awesome set of wheels. Good luck in the tire search, wish I could help.

Mike Murcia

Thanks. They look like Techart Daytonas, but they were made by FRH International. It's the same company that made my 18" twists, so I suppose it would be possible to swap the centers and make wheels just like the 18" Techart Daytonas. I always loved those wheels.
