Gonna take the plunge this week - finally.<p>Decided on the Borbet Type T. Planning on getting the 17x8 with ET35.<p>Will the 235/40/17 fit?<br>Will it look "ballooned"?<br>Will this setup rub? (I have the Sports suspension with NO plans to go lower.)<p>Thanks in advance for the help.<br>Mike O.<br>98.5 1.8TQMS, Wett 1.0, Stebro, Mintex,etc,etc,etc<br>

I have 245/40 S-02 PP on 17x8 wheels on the rear of my Z3. I have the same wheels with 225/45 on the front. Both of these look fine, so 235/40 should look and work well. I'm considering 17x8 ET35 with 245/40 S-02 PP for my A4. BTW - the tread on the 205 SP8000s is .5" wider than the tread on the 225 S-02 PP. Email me if you want pics of they look on my Z3.<p>CraigB

You should look at the data for the tires you plan to use. Dunlop has two different recommedatins: The one below recommeds 245/40ZR17 and the other one is at <br>http://www.dunloptire.com/cgi-bin/dunlop/fitment/fitment.pl recommends 225/45ZR17<p>Still trying to make up my mind. I think a lot depends on the offset opf the wheel too.<p>Reggie<p>98.5 3.0vQMS<ul><li><a href="http://www.dunloptire.com/audi/">Dunlop Filtment guide</a></li></ul>
