Rota Boost---???

[03SpeedLSD]

So I just got a set of 17in Rota Boost. They are 8inches wide.....I'm new to the tire stretch and offset scene.

So....what do you guys suggest as far as tire size?
Does anyone have these wheels or same size wheels with pics?

I don't much care for the stretch tire look, so I am looking for the best All around setup here. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks,

Added pics below 4/9/10

Here we go Guys, had some computer probs and a Child! LOL! This is my Wife's car, so don't be too harsh about the "It needs to be Lowered" comments.
Went with "Stock" tire size of 215/45 and offset is +35.

No-one can offer any help? (eek2)

no stretch(more than likely rub)--235/40/17
little stretch (possible rub)---225/45/17
stretched (not likely to rub) 215/45/17
definitive stretch (i'll give you $5 if they rub) 215/40/17

happy hunting

things that are going to make or break ur deal: are you dropped? what offset? rolled fenders?

Car is NOT lowered YET! Offset is +35...no fenders rolled, but I can have them done if need be....(thinkbeer

You WILL need your fenders rolled, i HIGHLY suggest doing that.

235/40/17 -no stretch, will bubble over slightly, aggressive look
225/45/17 -No stretch aka proper fitment
215/45/17-maybe stretched slightly but nothing major
215/40/17-umm width is same as above so why would one stretch mayybe and the other definately?

there ya go, fixed that for ya.

OP- with your low offset you'll need to roll your fenders.

this might be dangerous but he could go with a 205/40/17....? That would definitely stretch...

 

[03SpeedLSD]

I do NOT want to stretch tires if I don't have to. I want a FLUSH look with hopefully NO tire rub...That's what I am after.....Now I need the experts help to get there....Thanks Guys, keep the info/suggestions coming (glare)

umm width is same as above so why would one stretch mayybe and the other definately?

because the 40 series sidewall is shorter than a 45 series, that's why it'll have more stretch.

I have the same size wheel with a +38, so set in 3mm more. I use 215/45/17. offers a slight stretch and I rub on suspension compression and have rolled fenders. You will need at least 2 degrees of negative camber, a fender roll, a slight fender pull and be able to be happy with the mild stretch the 215 offers because you will not fit 235s with that offset

heres my car with my 17x8 +45 with 235/40. they just dont fit spaced out 10mm. they sit right on the fender lip

 

[03SpeedLSD]

Thanks for the pics and info Zack. What is your car lowered with? I think I am gunna mount 1 or 2 wheels on the car and see how far they stick out or house close to flush they are before I order tires (wiggle)

Edit***sorry, didn't fully read your Sig.

 

[03SpeedLSD]

Here are a couple pics Guys, let me know what you think.

The last pic is on the rear, this is the only thing that scares me, I can barely fit my pointer finger between the wheel and strut body. Anyone else come this close to rubbing the strut?

 

[Ractive]

Looks nice IMO. Always wanted to fit the P45R's but that would be too much poke. Those were my 2nd option of wheels. Keep us updated

 

[VIPMSP]

^^ look awesome! can't wait to see them on.

 

[03SpeedLSD]

Anymore input Guys? Before I buy tires (drive2)
