American Iron Fox Body RA 1 Tire Size?

[AI Coupe Driver]

Just want to be sure before I order Toyos for Mid Ohio HPDE's in April. I see 17's in 235/40, 255/40 and 235/45's on Phils web site. I guess Vilven will be the same.

 

Car is a 90 Mustang GT hatch with 17x9 Cobras on it. Wheel well lips are rolled into the fenders.

 

Best size suggestions?

 

And I'm planning to shave them to 4/32's... hows that?

 

Thanks, Ron

I thought AI rules were 255 or 275 by 40 only?
