This tire/rim combo is used for my 240sx so i ran a 215/45/17 on all 4 rims. These rims were put on me evo for SHOW PURPOSES only being the nature of the stretch and negative effects it would have with my driving style.

With a slight fender roll/pull you can fit a 245 or 255 tire in there no problem. Also with a little more agressive camber setup (-2* and beyond) you would have no problem at all.

On a side note, the research has been done and take it how you want it but these rims are not copies, just rebranded and sold under a different company here in the US. CST and MB use the SAME molds for the rims, there is no difference besides the center caps.

Teh EVO, I'm running coilovers with -2.9 up front and -1.4 in the rear. I love this 17x9.5 +15. I want to run a 255 width tire though, you think the front will fit fine with that width and the rear might need a little roll?

You will definitely have to work on the fenders a bit... I was set at 0* on the front camber plates when the photo's were taken. I do believe the eccentric bolt added -1* though on the front so it wasn't very aggressive with the camber on the fronts.

I am sure with a little work you can snugly fit 245/255's in there without having to run an insane amount of camber.

My next set will be 18x9.5 instead of the 17's... now the quest starts for a fender roller!
