WHat brand & size tyres are you guys using on the sx's? Are your'll happy with them?
I got 17" 225/45/17 SP racers on the rear.
Now here are my options for the front
Potenzas - 215/40/17 - R2700 maxipriest
Dunflops sport max (import) 215/40/17 - R 1300 Jacks tyres
Firenzas - 215/40/17 - R 850
Hankook 215/40/17 - R 980
Yoko's 215/40/017 - R 1250 Hi Q
Toyo proxes 215/40/17 - R 1350 minty's
Which will work best for street use.

What tyres are you using/

That is because you havent had decent tyres yet, these are utter crap.
Toyo T1R, the Goodyear excellence isnt bad either.
what tyre size & brand are you currently using Gary?
I've had Kumho KU31 215/40/17 on a 7J, tires were good and managed a track day with no problems!
Replaced them with Kumho KU31 235/40/17 on front and Federal 595SS 235/40/17 on the rear, on 9J though!
Wouldn't recommend the 595SS for the front but on the rear it's good!
Nothing bad to report on KU31 at all and read lots of positive reviews of them overseas!

My one touched but then i touched the spring bucket with a hammer and all is well. Not a lot of clearance about a 10mm.

I have 225/45 up front, no spacers and they fit perfectly as far as clearance is concerned. Didnt have to modify anything. Wheels are ET35 so far from great either although I would expect clearance issues running ET40+

Toyo T1R 225/45 R17
Cool Gary,
How you manged to fit 225 on the front?
225 fit easily on front if you have the correct offset wheels.

yes they do
im running 225/40/18 front and 235/40/18 rear but dunflops 6060 do me well has i hardly drive and like to burn tyres
easy
What offsets are you 2 using?
i think mine are 35offset and it clears like 3-5mm from the shock but with coilovers its got alot of clearance plus i added 30mm spacers as 35offset sits so in looks like had no wheels on
