well im looking into getting a set of keskin KT4`s
and well i cant determine if i want to go with 16`s or 17`s but here are the sizes i have available
8x17 et30
8x17 et35
9x16 et15
9x16 et25
which setup should i get... and how much work is it to run 245`s all around... or should i go with a different overall size... i dont want to stretch the tire to much cause i still want to be able to rely on them not to want to unseat
help would be much appreciated

8x17 et30 should work fine with thin spacers. you'll have to roll your fenders but 245's shouldnt be a problem.

I use 225/45/15 hoosiers for autox and track days on 8" wheels and they have a 9.8" section width. Toyo 245/35/17's are 9.6" wideso you should be fine.

would it be smarter to run 9/16's? with 245's since they have a lower offset... or would the 17's fit the 245's better?

I have had several Keskin sets (KT2) under my Porsche. i would like to point out, that wheel brand is exteramly heavy.

I have a set of staggard wheel 17/7 in front with 245/45/17 and 17/8.5 with 245/45/17 on the rear. Car rides great for comfort and handles nice. Yes the rear fender will have to be rolled.
