I have some extra wheels and I was thinking of running 17x8.5 on all 4 corners with 225/45 front and 255/40 rear. The extra rim width should help to give a little more grip and even tire wear on the front, I have read that running a tire on the widest approved wheel should give better turn in and response and my help dial.out another bit of understeer.
It is an interesting idea to me and I may try it. Has anyone ever run 225 on an 8.5" wheel, did you notice any benefit over running on a more narrow 7" wheel?
