called up wheelnext.com and was looking at getting TENZO R PASSION 5 rims. wanted to get 215/45 x 17 and they said it would not fit and would rub on my fender. how come some people on this forum has 215/45 on their car? is it the offset depending on each rim? what is the offset in our cars? now the issue is i dont wanna go too low profile? where i live there's alot of pot holes and bumps. so i want a thicker wall. wats the best size to go with 215/40 or 205/45?
PLEASE HELP ME SO I CAN BETTER DECIDE WAT SIZE TO GET thanx alex |

whats the size/offset of the rims? regardless they probably said it'll rub because its a larger diameter than stock. I have 215/45r17s and my car is lowered 2 inches so you should be alright

All we need to know is the offset and we can tell you if you will have a problem.

same as mine. 215/45's should be about perfect. keep in mind the rims will look slightly sucked in tho. click my sig for pictures

I can't tell the difference between what you have and stock. To the original poster, Pieter is correct (as usual). -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

(17's with 215/45's on them) not sure on the offset, but they have a significant wheel gap....i want to lower my car now. anyways....i put them next to stock size tires, and they are only about an inch taller...... I'll try and get my pics online and post them sometime soon to show you what i mean. There are people on here with 18's and 19's.....i dont think youll have any worries with 17's (and one person with 20's) |
