I just picked up a set of 5zigen FN01RC's in 17x8+25f 17x9+35. Now the thing is the front tires are stretched on the rims. The back is perfect. I want to know what size tire should i run up front?

The tire sizes are 215/45/17 in the front. Heres a pic to see how it sits.

Doesn't look that bad. 225?

I kinda like it how it is. I don't know that I'd change it to be honest with you. Maybe 225/45s if you want to go a size bigger. I like the setup though!!

I agree with 225/45 but what do you have on the back. With such a low offset you could easily run a 275 in the rear....Ask me how I know...same offset I had...

Damn tire prices are expensive for those sizes. I think in the rear its a 245/45/17 IIRC. So you think I should run anywhere from a 225 to a 245 in the front and maybe a 275 in the rear? Im so lost when it comes to tire sizing.

BTW, the offset I have is good right? Just asking some opinions.

I used to have that exact same set up. I ran 235/45 up front and 245/45 out back. Worked great for me.

225 45 17 is the most horrible size to run up front.

235/40/17 or keep it 215/45/17

215 for 8 inch wheel is right. 9" would be stretching.
