Staggered Throwing Star Tyre Recommendations

[Blade0058]

Hey all,

Have read through nearly most of the tyre conversations, however was not able to find an answer to my question. So the question is;

On a throwing star staggered wheel system are you running (17x8J - Front / 17x9J - Rear) 245/45/R17 all around?

[zubbie]

Either 235/45 or 245/45 front and 245/45, 255/40 or 255/45 rear all work

It depends on whether you want fatties out back.

Challenge has been finding 255/40s for the rear. Hence the reason to choose 245/45s front and rear! Any view on this?

Not really, if thats what is available to you, then it is probably the set up to go with.

I have run 235/45s and 255/40s on my staggered M Systems and it is a great set up though sometimes I think a square set up of 235/45s on the 8Js is perhaps a bit more balanced for daily driving. In general I am of the opinion that wide(er) rears on a street setup is somewhat over-done.

Okay, so but you haven't run 245/45s on the rear 9Js?

245's should be fine. Might have little stretch but will fit.
I also run a 255/40 on a 17x10 rim with no issues so 245 on a 9" should be similar fit.

Thank you! Going to fit one and see before I purchase. If anyone else have run this config please drop a note!
