Im thinking about buying some buddy club wheels but they are 17X7.5 will this wheel fit my 2003 lancer ES without any rubbing? and if i can go with this size, whats the best size tire to put on these wheels? any help is appreciated, thanks

 

hmmm.... use the search button plz.

 

yes, plz do search.

but ill be a nice guy and tell u that u're probably best with 17" wheels and try this website to find the profile of the tire that'll fit without messing with the speedometer http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp

also, remember that the ES has a bolt pattern of 4x100 and OZ/LS has 4x114.3

 

17x7.5 is not enough information. What offset are they? If it is about 42mm those rims will fit fine. However, the 7.5 width is useless since you can't put anything wider than 215 or 225 tires on it. Not that they will have a problem, but the rim will look slightly wider than the tire.

 

the offset is 42, urbanknight what size tire would be good for these wheels, i was thinking 205/40/17's what you think?

 

better to get 205/45/17 but the 40 profile would work fine.

 

urban is 205/45/17 a hard tire size to find? im looking at nittos selection adn they dont think they make that tire size. whats the dif between 215/40/17 and 205/40/17? i like the look of a wider tire.

 

Melaz, in that case I would go with the 215/40/17, it's very close to 205/45/17 in diameter, but a little wider (which you say you like). 205/40/17 would be a little smaller, throwing the speedo off a little.
