Just trying to get a feel for what width I should go with when I buy new wheels. I currently have 16"X8", but I am looking at some sweet 17"X7". Should I go 17X8 or keep the 7"?

A quick question for ya lil lissa, how do you find the ride on 245 wide tyres? Do you suffer much from tram lining? / adverse effects on the steering etc? Cheers - Insanity |

Cheers - Insanity [right][snapback]335314[/snapback][/right] everything is fine, but it rubs A LOT on my back wheel well.. i'm going down to a 225 when i save up enough money to get new tires because i just can't drive with an passengers with these tires on... it rubs constantly and im afriad of popping the tire one of these days -------------------- lissa | 1997 Celica Convertible
