Im going with a set of 17x8 ROH Snypers this winter and was wondering what series tire you are running. I was thinking of going with 40 series. My car has not been lowered either.

go with 40's or 45's. depending on the width. The 40's are nice but if the tire is only 245 wide, it looks like a honda wheel on the car

Ions91Z28, do your front tires rub at full lock?

 

Everyonce and awhile going up a driveway or something...but at the same time, the 16s from factory scrape as well.

Got any pics? The link in your sig doesnt work.

 

I went w/ 275/40/17 and they only scrape when I turn it completly to full lock and they just barely scrub then but the ride of the car is alot better..
here are some pics of mine not snipers but rt's http://86iroc0.tripod.com/

 

the 275 40 17 should be the same size height as the 245 50 16 I think, rubbing shouldn't be bad and the width isn't too too much more. I will be running the 275 40 17s on my zr1s

 

Ionz, is your car lowered or stock height?

Those of you with ROH snypers. Can you get 17x9 all around. I plan on putting these on my '91 GTA next month. Also, you don't need any spacers with these wheels, right? Can you order them polished?

Thanks, Dave '91 T/A, '91 GTA, '01 T/A WS6

 

well i have the ZR-1 rims *17x9.5* front and 17x11 back. and i run 275/40s up front and 315/35 in back.

 

jm91rs, stock height.

So what exactly rubs? The sidewall of the tire? What about the rim? Does it hit any of the suspension components?
