Pics below of the 225 Silvertowns on 17x9s off the Chevelle I first posted. I like how the redline is flush with the sidewall and close to the lip, but the width looks pretty narrow so I think 225s are out.
I'm narrowing my options down to:
-17x8 245/50-17 (26.6"). This is closest to stock tire height.
-Staggered 17x8/17x9 . 245/45-17 (25.7") in the front , 255/50-17s (27") in the back.
Like the idea of a wider tire in the back with a staggered setup, but I'm a little hesitant to go with a taller tire in the back because I don't really want to accentuate the rake of the car much more. I suppose I could do 255/45/17s in the back to get the height a little closer. It's a small detail, but I wish the redline was about 1/4" closer to the lip on the Diamondbacks.
