sorta,, 225 45 17 hakka 2's. so bigger sidewall, but thinner at 225

They will be mounted to 17x8 35mm offset

Borbet E's


mine are on b5 avus' wich i think are only 7.5 wide and i forget the offset,
but they are more inside the wheelwell than the off seasoners, but i like it
that way.  kicks less salty snowy road grime up.

Advice?


i wont go less than a 45 sidewall and couldnt imagine a 255 working with my
car any time of year, but if youre raised more than my h&r(v8)/koni setup
you could be okay.

thinner definitely cuts through snow&slush better, but if youre willing to
tradeoff for better dry traction, its your call depending on driving needs.
