225/45's on 17x7.5's under an FC?
Can i squeeze a set of 225/45's on 17x7.5" rims (43mm offset) under my 1990 N/A?
I was thinking of using Kumho ECSTA Supra 712's (apparently some tires have different sectional width, etc.?)
Thanks!,

43mm might be too mush of an offset for a 7.5in rim. 35mm would fit a little better in the front. Rears I believe a 7.5in rim would need less of an offset, but you should ask ARDTII. He'll probablly rec. 8x17 fronts and 9x17 rears. Not bad for a 2600lb car.
