Rotary Car Club - View Single Post - Looking for alignment starters

Not to get off of the alignment question, but why run so much tire size stagger? If you want the car to turn better more rubber up front is a good start ;-)

With the Stance coilovers and the right offset you should be able to fit a 245/40-17 up front. I can fit a 245/40-17 Ecsta MX on a 17x8 wheel up front on my '89 with the Stance setup. The Falkens or Nittos can't be that much wider in cross-section than the Kumhos (if wider at all).

Just sayin...

Edit: Just realized that there's no such thing as a 245/40-17 RT-615 or NT-01
