Hi, I have a ST202 just only month. I want to buy wheels 17" 8,25" with offset 35. Will it fit there without any problems? Like scrathing or damaging while be on road?
I want to put there 225, I dont know height for now |

wider tires will kill ur performance in speed. not in handling, if u have a 5sfe do not run 17s lol u will lose tons of speed but if ur running 3sge with 17s it won be too bad, im not running 235/45/17 i lost maybe 10% speed but my handling is much better but i think 17x71/2 with 225 is the perfect size for our peformance handling without much speed loss

On light, low-power cars like ours it is absolutely noticeable when a large increase in unsprung weight, i.e. heavy wheels/tires hanging on the suspension, occurs. The added grip is nice but grip is useless if the struts can't mate the tire to the road correctly.
