I'm not surprised you don't run since your drop is so minimal but I'm pretty sure OP will be running his KW's lower.
Oh yea Chicago roads can't be much worse than NJ/NYC  |
Long story on the sizes but here are a few items that were considered:
- 1s dont have a lot of space in front to work with.
- Wanted square wheels and a close to square setup. Forgestars had what I wanted so 8.5-45 was the target size.
- Wasn't sure if 255/35 rear on et45 would fit. Wasn't sure if 245/35 would fit in front. Knew that 245/35 would fit in the rear.
- Differential in diameter not important to me since max difference with a 245 rear was relatively small.
- Want to make sure that the tire overhangs the wheel so I get some curb rash protection.
- Wanted maximum width possible without fender roll.
- Tire size options also came into play.
- Didn't want to risk getting something that wouldn't fit.
I don't recall but there may have been other things I considered at the time. Clearly thought it through. The car, wheel, suspension, and tires were all new to me. So I went with something safe. Once these tires are spent I will go with either 245/35 & 255/35 or 235/40 and 245/35.
