Rotary Car Club - View Single Post - New wheel/tire setup

****Updated 11/1/11****
This is the setup I'm now curious about:
How about this setup with Tein coilovers?

17*9 +22 rear with 255/40 tire
17*8 +35 front with 235/40 tire

Will that work?
*********************

Hey guys, I'm about to switch to a new wheel/tire setup on my S4 GXL, and I want to get about as much rubber as reasonably possible under the thing. I'm planning on rolling the fenders, and I'm open to running spacers if needed. All I really care about is getting the best handling possible out of this beast (without blowing through tires every six months.)

The setups I want to use is this:

Tires: Falken Azenis
Front: 235/40 r17
Rear: 255/40 r17

Wheels: Enkei RPF1s
Front: 17x8 +45 offset
Rear: 17x8.5 +30 or +40 offset

Apparently those offset are the only ones these wheels are available in. Can I make those offsets work, either with or without spacers? Also, I know those rims are wide enough for the tires to fit on all right; is there any reason I should consider any other size wheel?

Thanks in advance!
