[MagicMarcus]

Car: GTI
Rims: 17 Montecarlo (225/45-17)
My questions are:
1. Can I use 245/40-17 at the back and 235/40-17 at the front with the same rims?
2.Which wheel spacer should I use?
3. Related to 2. question; what size?
4. I dont really lower my car because I'm carrying my gokart on it so I need some space inside the fenders, therefore which lowering springs you recommend? (Eibach pro kit??)
5. Will wheel spacers chance my cars characteristic behaviour? Bad or good?
Thanks.

The narrowest recommended rim width for 235/40 & 245/40 is 8"; Monte Carlos are 7" wide. You'll need wider wheels if you want wider tires.

If your overall diameter is different from front to back, you'll trigger the ASR/ESP. I'd recommend the exact same size front and back.
