Haha you beat me to it.

215/45/17 is the perfect size for the ep. I've had two different setups like that.

I would like to see how a 225 or 235 fits for the track though at some point.

I'll be doing that after my engine is rebuilt. I put some 225/50/16s on layaway but I still have 225/45 stuck in my head.

I'm sure it's been posted here in one place or another, but this is the best tire size calculator on the net:

Ok, so I'm kind of dim on the whole tire wheel situation lol.

I'm shopping around the discount tire website for rims and tires.

The 3 sizes I'm looking at seem to be 16x7, 17x7 and 17x7.5. I cannot find the offset of the wheels I'm looking at on the website. (MB Weapons and Konig Forwards probably.) I'm about to be dropped on Progress springs and was wondering what size tires are needed without having to roll my fenders. I've been looking through here but I don't really know too much about this stuff and like i said i don't
know the offset.

Thanks.

Also I should mention that I live in Columbus Ohio and dont want rubber bands. I dont know if this means I should just forget about the 17s altogether but I really like the looks of 17in wheels.

Hmm we'll need to know the offset to know if it will rub or not.
205/50 for the 16
and 215/45/17 is playing it safe with the 17's.
But if you want beef you could consider 225/45/17.

Ok, I'll have to do some research on other sites on these wheels or contact discount tire as I cannot for the life of me find the offset info on their website. I appreciate the help.

right now im running 205/40/17 and i have a lot of wheel well gap.
I know i have to lower the car to get rid of this but i just cant now with school. Im wondering if i can get some bigger
tire profile like 45-50 without having the car look like a 4x4. just need your opinion

[bearcat91]

Will 225/45-17 fit dropped on progress springs with out and mods (camber, rolling ect...) oh and wheels 17x7 +42 also its just a DD, no track maybe the strip if I'm feeling fast ;)

A 205/40 is pretty undersized for our cars.
I'd try a 205/45 or a 215/45.
It'll make the car a tad bit taller, but it will fill the gap better.
Our cars come with a huge amount of wheel gap so with out a drop, the gap will be there :/

With that offset, I think it'd be fine.
Not sure how much those progress springs drop
But our car's come with a huge amount of wheel gap, so I think you'd be okay.

[bearcat91]

Not sure either lol still need to put em on, but its supposed tto be 1.5f and 1.8r
