these are the same ones i was looking at. Im sure they will fit, but i was wondering if 225/45-17 tires would fit since these wheels are 17x7

wow those look like volk ce28n replicas

As far as the rims go, i would like to know if the offset will be a problem. i cannot seem to find these in 18's though. thats really the size that i want. but i dont think that a 45 thickness on the tire would look right. I think that's too meaty for the car.

you already have 45 thinkness stock...these are the same size as stock, but has a 40 offset

goodwin74 · 05-11-2008, 04:16 AM

oh should have checked. well i think i'll be going with 40's. i really would love to have these in 18's

40 series on a 17 will make the rims look even smaller....and if your not dropped will make ur car look ridiculously high and if dropped still make ur car look higher than it should, and your speedo will be off and ride quality will be reduced

45 thickness of a 215. if someone were to change the diameter to 225, the 45 thickness would also change.

Just to clear it up, in case someone doesn't understand- the second number (in this case, 45) is a percentage of the first number (the tire's width).

I'm glad you all are here. I really do not want any issues with speedo misreading.
