I'm sure this has been said before.. but i'm in a hurry for an answer.
I can get a good deal on some O.Z. Superlaggera wheels, but i'm not sure if they will fit right or not. They are 17x8 +38 Any thoughts? I don't want to roll my fenders, I just want to be able to bolt them on n' go without any issues. Also, what would be some good tires and sizes for them? Thanks for any help! |

You'll be fine with those specs.
Run 225/40 if you can find them still or 225/45 for a meatier tire. 215/45 would stretch a tad bit. -------------------- 94 Celica GT

The only 225/40s I found were Hoosier slicks. I've been running 215/40s on 17x7.5 and there's a super slight stretch. I just ordered 17x8 wheels and am using the same size tire because an extra 0.5" will hardly stretch any more than it already is.

^ yea the days of 225/40 are almost impossible to find, more than likely only in local tire shops old stock. in fact they were an awesome size, it gave you the width with not so much of the 45 sidewall, my sig is still running the 225/40 nittos.
but for the OP, just remember depending on your drop/camber, itll tuck more unless you correct it. This post has been edited by trdproven: Jul 20, 2012 - 12:19 AM -------------------- 94 Celica GT
