Running larger tires to fill out the gap is dumb and will hurt your performance. Smaller tires give you a performance boost though due to lower gearing and a lower CG height for better cornering. Taller tires also will increase the chances of rubbing.

ok, I read the first 6 pages... and well here's my question
I want 17x ? with 255/40/17 tires
what width rim and offset do I need to fit front and back? And I still want to lower my 88 vert an inch or so.

You'll need 25mm/50mm rear fenders.
I've seen an 18x11 -7 in the front on an FC with just 25mm fenders.
We sell 40mm front fenders. new item!

I was hoping not to have to roll the back. I suppose I can get them and just find out.
thanks

Well... I guess it's just a matter of using different tire size, the wheels I'm looking to purchase already come with those tires.
Obviously with an ofset that low fender rolling is a must, I was just curious about the tire fitment. I should have been more specific, I'm riding on Teins SS and Mazdatrix Camber Adjuster BTW.

18 x 9.5 +12/+20/+25/+30/+35/+48 5h x 114.3 <- looking to buy some rotas.... which would work best with the biggest sized tire in the back, and awesome fitment in the front?
