I am waiting on my new wheels to arrive and need to order some tires, the wheels are 17x7 fronts and 17x11 rears. The car is an 02 T/A lowered in front on BMR springs, and hose mod in rear and all new Billstien SLP shocks. I like a rake in the car like a drag setup provides but this is a street car. Car gets maybe 4k a year put on it.

The rear tires I am leaning strongly towards the Nitto NT05 in a 315/35/17.

The fronts I am thinking 225/45/17 maybe a 225/50/17 instead ? Nitro Neo Gen ?

According to a tire chart I found on line
315/35/17 is 25.68"
225/45/17 is 24.97" difference of 0.71 or about 3/4"
225/50/17 is 25.86" difference of -0.18"

I don't think I will like a taller sidewall in the front at all but is 3/4" difference (going with a 225/45/17) enough to set off the abs-traction control or whichever one gets set off mis matching heights front to rear ?

Maybe someone has better suggestion as well instead of the Neo Gen Nitto for the fronts ?

Id go with the 225/50/17 on the front. I run a falken ziex in that size up front and dont have any probs.

Thanks for the replies,

I am guessing the 225/50/17 having a larger sidewall then the rear 315/35/17 by .18 I would not even see it being its what about 1/6 th of an inch.

Any benefit going 225/50/17 like more tire choices over the 225/45/17 ?
