QUOTE (Promasta @ Mar 5, 2009 - 8:00 PM)  QUOTE (champians @ Mar 5, 2009 - 3:14 PM) I'm in the process of buying some lighweight 17" wheels to replace the stock 16" on my GT4. Theres lots of pot holes near me and I don't want a bumpy ride or to damage the suspension, so I wondered what the largest profile tyre is I'd get away with? Prefferably I'd like 225/55/17. What do you guys think, would this be ok or would it rub? Also I was wondering if you compared a 205 tyre to a 225 tyre....when inflated is it likely that the 205 would look smaller side on from the 225 and in a way giving you a little extra profile? Thanks Ian good plan on the lightweight 17s think about 17x8 oz's, they are super light and beautiful and popular on gt-fours 225/45/17 fills the fender, i really doubt that 225/55/17s would fit also the 225/45/17s should be enough rubber to cushion the pot holes Thanks for the reply. Trust me the holes around me are bad!! I think that 225/55/16 is actually slightly bigger overall than a 225/45/17. Therefore how about 225/50/17 as a compromise? Is there an actual way of finding out before buying or is it just a matter of trying? |

Hi, looking for some 17" rally wheels for my st205, I guess the offset should be 35mm correct? Want some 5 spoke OZs or 6 spoke speedlines prefferably, in white, with or without tyres. If you don't have those but have something similar that my be of interest please post  Thanks Ian |
