Say you have a 17 inch wheel on a 03 lancer. What size wheel do you want so that it fits in the wheel well nice but isnt a rubber band.

should have all the info yer looking for.....hopefully...haha

there's a tire calculator there you can use.

 

thx, im gonna check that out

 

oh yah, next time you got tire ?'s, put them in the tech forums under tires,wheel & suspension. just givin ya a heads up before others flame you and tell you to search next time...lol

 

so say I go with some 17x7 enkies, what would be better, 205/40 or 215/40?? Ive seen a lotts lancers on EvoM with both size tires.

 

oops, ill do that...next time i got a question, thanks.

 

205/40/r17

 

^ oh yeah!

 

^really?.... I figure that would be alright for an ES but not the OZ.

I dunno, I'm just going by the tire calculator, and I think the closet for the OZ if yer running 17's is ummm....let's see.....205/45/17.

 

315/40-17

 

rofl

 

205-45-17. 215-45-17 would be nice but ive heard they rub.

 

215/45R17 is what i run. i get rubbing at a full wheel turn. ( meaning wheel cranked all the way. ) otherwise none at all.

 

^ same here but with progress springs as well.

 

Well,
the factory wheel is 185-60-15
to keep the wheel size the same. meaning outside Diameter. Which is what your speedometer, and odometer are looking at for accurate calculations you use the +1 +2 calculation.
so adding 2 inches to your Rim, gives you a 17" rim . so add your 2" inches and move up the tire size that keep your "OVERALL" wheel diamter as close to factory as possible. Otherwise expect your speedo to be off and get pulled over possibly.
