Hrmm, so I guess I'll be better off getting the +35's and spacing them out to about +28 or so. I don't want the tires hammering the fenders like a prom date....

Can someone tell me where i can get a 17" 9-10" wide rim that will fit over the brembo brakes? I want it for traction not the look and i need to know offset and what size tire would be best? It doesn't have to be anything fancy cause i'm just gonna paint them black. I figured i would ask you guys cause you know best on wide rims

No because that would be a bad idea.

if your not gonna lower it you could run huge wheels, there is a guy on here who auto x's and hes on 10's but it looks like crap, but obvisouly not done for looks.

I'm not doing it for looks i just want to have another set of wheels for traction on the street. Thats why i have the coilovers so i can be slammed one day and run beef tires the next for traction. Why would raising the coilovers be a bad idea? I'm just looking for the biggest tire and rim that will fit without rubbing.

do some research on how a car handles and what improves handling and you will see why coilovers do what they do and how ride hight affects a cars handling.

raising the car higher then stock height would be supid, keeping them at stock hight would also be a waste.

Im assuming you mean raising them as in as high as they go

Well high enough to swing a tall wide drag radial and i'm looking for straight line traction i have tires for handling. I know stance isn't the best handling setup but its not the worst either..

Raise the coils up an inch from the bottom and run 17x9 +35 with 245/40's!

215's on a 9" wheel is NOT going to help performance.

Oh sorry for the confussion, thats the tires im running on my wheels, i replied to bumpin's question, should of made it clearer.

you could run bigger then a 245 on a 9 for sure, just depends on the tire, i had a 225 on a stock 7 no problem you could probably run a 265 on a 9

Well i don't want to buy something and have it not fit that's why i'm asking cause you guys already have tested most of this stuff.

I wonder if that was stock ride height? I'm gonna go out today if it doesn't rain and see how high i can adjust it and still be safe.

245 is the most I would run while still lowered. You don't want to have to be concerned about rubbing, especially with expensive track tires.
