I like wheel #2
225/45/17 is a good size for 7.5 wheel. 35 is just too low, youll hate it. |

I don't know much about Nitto tires, so I can't really comment. Toyo Proxes T1R's are excellent tires, same with Falken Azenis, maybe you should consider those. Some others to consider are the Dunlop Direzza DZ101 and BF Goodrich G-force Sport. -------------------- 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |

What are your plans? Wide and low pro tires with a slammed look? or a decent ride thats lowered?
You can search around tirerack for pricing on the tires you want. 225/40 - speedo is off by 5ish or more mph, 225/45 great ride and good grip, speedo will be changed very slightly |

Hello.
I'm having a similar problem that you are. I decieded not to go down the black route tho. I more of wanting to show off the wheels and rims. Think the black hides them too much. Please show pictures of what you do do. I posted a similar question. Size i am wanting is 215/40/R17. But 225 still v good. Hate the standard ones i have on. |
