Default 245/40-17 Toyo T1S on 17x8.5" SSR Comps & Stock suspension.. Anyone think it'll work?
I've pretty much run down my A032R's on my Comps, and it's time to get some street tires for my car. I'm seriously considering getting the T1S in 245/40-17... Anyone running that size? Any opinions if I'll be ok or if I'll rub?

Default Nope... just chip and an exhaust... not even downpipes... I ran a 13.8 one day full tank of 94 gas..
and a mid 90's day...

I've been working on my wife's Miata race car instead of the S4.

Default I used 235/40/18 on 8.5 inch wheels, and they look fine. 245 would look better, but...
I already rub on hard impacts as is, so I probably would stick with 235 again.
