Picking up some BBS'

[slcook54]

I'm about to pick up a set of 17x8 BBS RC's and am curious what size T1-S I should run for the street? 235?

Yep. Thats what I am running and it fills out the fenders nicely. Have you run the T1-S before? They're a great tire.

[slcook54]

No I'm running Falken Azenis, I don't see the T1-S' being stickier than them, but I need a tire that last longer than 8K and there is a good deal in the group buy forum. My rears are bald with 8K, no rotations though and I don't drive crazy. So 235/45/17 or 235/40/17?

235/40 should be good all around.

T1-S is a narrower tire than most, as it looks stretched compred to say, a Kumho 712, so you can run a wider tire than normal.

I'd do a 245/40/17, just to make it beefier...especially with an 8" wheel. That'd look nice! :)

dude trust me you can fit a 255 t1s on your car i have a pair of so3 245 and i pair them together and the 245 so3 is a half a in wider then the 255 t1s and i have no problems.

Guys, I'm lowered on H&R coilovers in the front with the max drop, it is already pretty low, and I'm not really to keen on running spacers or rolling my fenders, so realistically, should I still consider a 245?
