New Wheel/Tire Size thread

[ep3jd]

Yeah you could do it. Gonna have to stretch tires, have wheel gap, or crazy camber

[powdbyrice]

so i have been thinking and u guys said u didnt know if 17x10's could fit in the back, so i started looking around and what about 17x10+20 in front and 17x9 +25 in the back could it be pull off this way possibly?

i dont think i could run 17x10 +20 on my tl...

[PatrickJamesYu]

What are some of the mesh alternatives out there?

I don't like bbs rs styles
but I like the ssr's, enkei 92, axis og
Anyone know some other cheaper alternatives to these wheels?
I know it's rarer in 17's, but I want 17's
16's and 15's are okay too
something that comes in optional 4 lug.


Maybe some specifics so I can actually find them

[ep3jd]

Bbs rm? Lm? Volk evo 2? Chin straps on the beaches?

Which will fit better, 16x8.25 0 offset or 17x8.25 +25 offset? I'm lowered 3-3.5" and plan to get low pros...

[PatrickJamesYu]

I say the 17x8.25

I'm looking at buying some 17x7 4x100 inch and a half positive offset (I guess +36ish?) Off a guy on Craigslist. I'm stock right now but looking to match it with progress springs. Sound like a good size? What should I wrap them in? This is a DD only.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I've never bought wheels and i try to always search but am on my phone atm.

[PatrickJamesYu]

They'd poke about 10mm more than stock.
So it's not crazy, but it will be very manageable
especially for your first set of aftermarket wheels.

Through the time being here on the forum, I've learned that the Progress springs are good springs.
Clean drop, goo handling. I may be wrong though.

I'd wrap in 205/45/17, brand your choice.
That size will keep the stock diameters.
many people run 215/45/17 which is like less than half an inch bigger in diameter.

As a DD I like the falken 912's.
Theyre affordable, and they last.
A few tire guys I know, say that the 912's are the only Falkens they see come back, lasting to their 50k-60k mile warranty.
They're are a ton of other tires out there though.

Good deal thank you very much. I've read the same thing on here about progress springs. I've been a member for awhile but rarely post as I spend most of my time scouring old threads for info but wanted to be sure this is the way to go size wise. So stock is a +25 or so or am I looking at this incorrectly? (Wheel noob completely other than what I've read)

Other way, stock is 10mm less poke, more sunk.
So stock is +45 for the 02-03 model
I think the 04-05 is the same.

It's always best to get the exact fitment you want, first, rather than trial and error
But it's the only way to learn
