I was looking for new rims on ebay, and i found and fell in love with these

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2418077161&category=43957

4 lug 17 inch dark with polished lip (if you've paid attention, you'll know these are my favorite kind fo rims)

This is an old auction but i had it in my favorites so im just using it as an example.

what do you guys think? will this fit? will my current tires (kumho's on enkei rs6, dunno size/specs) fit?

i appreciate all comments!

thanks,
john

215/45-R17= 215 is Millimeters wide [tread width], 45 is the % of the tire width the sidewall is tall, [45% of 215 = 96.75 Millimeters], R is Radial [can be preceded by a speed rating like Z for instance], and the 17 is the diameter of the rim. In short, those tires are 215 mm wide, 96.75 mm tall, and fit a 17" rim.

Hope that helps!

:cool:

Those are identical to Konig Holes, same weight and everything, those very light for 17"
