Rim and tire help?
#16
does anyone know if the speedy race modes in 17in by 7 will fit our cars? im nto sure about what offset it is?
and for my first post, does the 35 mm offset make any significance on fitment? thats really what my issue is since it its 7.5 wide

the 35mm offset might make you rub really bad on the outside with eh 7.5 and ou might need a 5mm spacer... but the speedy race witht he right lug pattern would work just fine, those are just another rip off of a ripoff.. most offsets are universal FWD offsets, 38+ to 48+ normally.. and those are all ok with a 17x7.

haha good point lol. So moral here is go with a 17x7
Yeah man, the rears wore out really fast... I got em' rotated regularly,
but they didn't last more than a year... Then again they are kumhos... i'm
sure if I invested in a decent set of tires they'd last me a little longer

I think the ideal tire I would run would be a 205/45 17, but a 215/45 17 would work too (I have a 215/45 17 on my 7" wide wheels now and I think its too wide... maybe even for a 7.5 inch rim). If you're worried about tire wear, get some neo gens, I've been running them for a while and they've been showing very little wear and its all been very even. I'm no tire guru, so I wouldn't take all this info as 100% accurate, its just from the research I've done on these and other forums to find out what will fit our cars.
But stick with the 7.5 wide wheel, there's nothing I could find that says it won't fit our car, I just don't know about that offset.

yeah im thinking of getting the rota slipstreams 17 in and tehy only come 7.5 wide so im getting a 45 mm offset. im thinking it will work from the research ive done. let know how things go with your rims wangman
