tire sizes and 17x7.5 rim

[darkvibe]

I've got a good deal I can take on some 17" motegi MR12's. Only problem is they are 17x7.5 with a 42mm offset. Are these too wide? What tires can I put on them and not have them rub? I'd like either 205-45/17 or 215-45/17 since they are close to the stock speedometer calibration. I'm at stock ride height right now but should be lowered on progress springs (1.5"?) in about 2 weeks.

Anyone? I've gotta tell him if I want them by like 3 hours from now.

get the 215 45 17, i have 7.5x17" rota's and that's my tire size, 205's would not fill the rim up enough. your speedo will read 1.5 mph slow at 60 mph no biggy....

no rubbing? is your car lowered?

I have 205/40's on my 17 x 7.5" ROta Attacks. THey're fine. THey actually look right for each other.

215/45/17 tire size is recommanded.
I am currently running 215/45/17 with 17X7. Offset 43..
No rubbing with Tein s tech springs.

Thanks for the info guys. I'm getting the rims for sure. $300 and the guy will mount my tires that i'll be ordering on the internet for another $20 total. (he works at a shop)

Now I have to order tires.
