    What's the largest wheel spec those of you with 5x114.3 hubs have used?

    I ask because I'm looking at a set of staggered Prodrive wheels from off the 350/370Z to mount up. The think the +39 offset might not clear the Brembos up front though...

    Ideally, I'd like to fit a 245 up front and 275 in the rear. Thoughts?

    I don't think going with 5x114.4 hubs makes any difference to what size tires you can run.

    I'm running 235/40R17 45 et in the front.
    At designed track width, they rub on they inside unless you use steering rack limiters.
    I'm running 40mm wider track width at street ride height.(4.5")
    The fender to tire clearance is real tight in high G turns.
    If your going to run 245 at race ride height. I see rack limiter and/or fender flairs in your future.

    At 275 in the rear, you are looking at custom trailing arms and/or fender flairs.
