Default 255-40-17's on my coupe

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/71531/255_750_x_562.jpg"></center><p>I just installed a set of Yokohama A032R's on my coupe that are 255-40-17's. I had to add 5mm spacers in the front and they only clear the tie rod end by about an 1/8 inch but I just went out for a drive and there is no rubbing and the grip is awesome!

That's what I have on mine with 225/45/17, though my wheel offset is 42...10-15mm spacers will go on

Default Hmmm my TSW's are ET 35 but I can never fit those on my car....

Hell mine are right up to the tie-rod end. Maybe it didn't help that they are 8.5 wide.
So far no rubbing yet. This trip to Road America will tell if I have any rubbing problems.

Default Yeah.. What about when he corners hard and the tire shifts..

That thing is going to go pop and it might not be pretty.
