I'm deciding on getting either 17' or 18's...but more on the 17 inch size...If I do get 17's what is the bolt pattern for our cars? What's the offset? Do the Motegi-MR7 fit?? I don't want to get the wrong ones cause when I go looking for em they speak spanish and sometimes they don't understand me, unless my girl is there.. Sooo I want to get everything right before I spend a lot of money on em and finding out it doesn't fit! And what kind of tires should I get...i am thinking something other than 205-40-17's. I have the blitz front bumper...can i drop my car to an inch?? or a half an inch....what springs are good? thanks

for 17s I would stick with a 215/40/R17 or larger. 205/45/R17 is also a good size but if you get any smaller the profile is smaller than the stock rims and you can just imagine how tiny that will look in our wheel wells. as for 18s, personally I think 215/40/R18s are a good size, I've heard 35 series tires can cause major headaches on bad roads and all that.
hope that helps. |

you should check out tire.com also, good deals and free delivery, just put on enkei's rs5's 17" w/205/45 falkens,(around $850) I was a little worried how the 45's would set didn't want a off-road look, but their not really that tall, I'm extremly happy w/the size, just from the rough roads I know I'd be hurtn w/a lower profile. Don't forget, Make sure you get some tuner lug nuts, I had a B*tch of a time trying to find them where I live.

just last week i had my 17's fitted, most important is make sure u get hub rings!!! or else the only thing holding ur wheel to the car is the bolts on the car.
if u dont want the wheel/rim to look too small id personally go for 40 profile tyres. |
