any more 255/40R17? will these fit a 17x8 wheel with +35mm offset and fit under a B5?
or, should I get the 245/40/17 on a 17x8?
How do these tires compare to the Falken Azenis Sports RT615 tires? I run them as my summer/rain track. I really liked my S03s.
someone please buy my 17x7.5 wheels!

thanks. just saw it. would the 245/40/17 fit a 17x8 wheel?
my Toyo RA1s at 235/40/17 seem to run like a 245 and are on my 17x8 OZ SLs -- so, I assume they'd fit fine.
the 255s seem like a stretch on the wheels and not rubbing too badly. so, maybe I should skip those anyway.
yes, I get some rubs but only when weight transfers are fast on the street. I've never had an issue on the track since it's all smooth transitions on even pavement.
I'm also looking at running Falken RT615s again, but going wider than a 225/45/17

245/40R17 is no problem on an 8" wide wheel. Good to go.
I'd still be concerned about rubbing with a tire that wide on a b5. Given mine *is* lowered and my fender lips aren't rolled. Be sure to test fit before driving on them. If they aren't driven on, we'll still take them back for credit to your credit card minus shipping.

Thanks! Enjoy!
Had I not just bought tires this summer I'd be all about this deal for myself. A lot of our employees and sales guys have orders in place. I haven't seen anything quite like this in the 10+ years I've been here.

Negative, sorry.
The 235/35R19 size doesn't exist in this tire and the 245/35R19 size is so oversold that it is highly unlikely that a preorder would be fulfilled, sorry! See the new thread for more details.
