My new Rims (updated 5/15/06, finished), Mille Miglia HT3 17x8 with 35mm+ offset Options

[devilsden97]

Yeah so i got them from tirerack.com for $99 a piece, when they originally went for $238. Close out rims. Cost me a total of $447, with shipping, no tires as of yet. (make suggestions) Here is a pic of them.

(More pics when i get them mounted, and then on the car.)

(kinda having an oil leak issue, so maybe ordering rims at this time was a rash decision, but oh well.)


edit: also ordered sportline lowering springs, and the camber adjustments for both front and back.

Don't get a 215 tire.....thats pretty narrow for a 17x8 wheel, and unless you have a rediculous drop, which you won't probably have with the springs, you definately aren't going to rub. Trust me.

I would use at least a 225/40/17 or 225/45/17, depending on how thick of a profile tire you want. You could even go with a 235 to really get some meat on those wheels but thats about it, otherwise the tire will bulge out beyond the wheel a little.....but you won't rub just by using a healthy size tire on a relatively wide wheel.

Get the right size tires so you can enjoy the merits of a nice wide wheel like that.
