On second look I thought there was something a little off.

With those tyres you have a bigger overall diameter on the front than the rear. Not a huge difference, but it is slightly noticeable in the pics (1010 tire calculator puts the difference @ just over 7mm, though each brand/model of tyre will vary slightly, and technically you have a tiny bit more stretch in the rear).

Maybe think about 255/45's for the rear once you've "worn" these out (if you know what I mean :twisted: )

The rear I would have been tempted to go a 275/40/17 to help fill the guard in widths and height. Can get that size for a reasonable in Hancooks or Nittos.

Got more pics of the car and wheels :drool:

I already had the 255's for the rear so I just used them.

Only if you got them.
Yeah some shots from the the rear and front showing fitment would. Be good.

I think Rota used to do the front in a 17x8.5 +0 at on time not sure if they are available in that offset. I'll have to check with them.
