buying nitto 555r's for front and back. rear is getting 17x9 front is getting 17x8. now should im unsure of what profile number i should order for them. i know most people use 35 when replacing stock rims, but my front ones are going to be the same size as stock. also i am getting the car lowered soon if that has anythign to do with it.

so yea basically my question is:

#1. should i order 285/45/17 or 285/35/17 in the rear?
#2. should i order 245/45/17 or 245/35/17 in the front?

thanks guys

 

Match them on whatever size you decide to go with...

id go with 45 series but thats just me...

 

well i was going to go with 285 in rear without a doubt. but now i see that they dont have 555r in 285, at least on discount tire direct.com so i guess im gona be going with 275/40/17 in the back and 245/45/117 in front

 

that's the recommended tire sizes for the rims you've spec'd.

 

Why 555r in the front? Go with the street tire 555. Exact same tread design and very very similar compound just a deeper tread.

 

yea thats what im doin was to lazy to type it tho
