I'd suggest against it though, as lower offsets throw off your suspension geometry.

i was looking at 18x7.5 38 offset. so that would screw with my suspension? also are there any opinions on best tire size.

you guys think 225/45-17 work on stock si rims I really don't want to have to buy new tires when I get my motegi's

Rims -- MOTEGI TRACK TRAKLITE

Which rim size would be a better choice for 225/45/17

Size: 17x7
42mm
Bolt Pattern: 5-114
**Lightweight: 14.4lbs.**

OR

Size: 17x8
Offset: 45mm
Bolt Pattern: 5-114
**Lightweight: 15.0lbs.**

Also, if lowered with a 1.4" drop would this tire size have a negative impact?

MyZeR · 08-07-2007, 05:10 PM

+35 offset is a perfect offset?

Should work fine, I'll be using that set up with a 215/40 tire though due to my drop. Will post results next week sometime.

RANGERSi07 · 08-07-2007, 09:45 PM

Would 225/45ZR17 work on a stock Si wheel?

JeShUa · 08-08-2007, 12:43 AM

No. You need a 7.5" wheel for a 225 tire.

I'd run 225/40 on your setup. Modify what needs be.

If you're only going 225 for tire width, 17x7 is plenty. Getting wider rims w/o significantly wider tires is pointless.

El_mahone · 08-10-2007, 07:47 PM

Smoot, I would love to see pictures of that rim setup?

Actually, I was mistaken, you can run a 225 on 7".
