rim sizes
 
What size tire are you guys running on your 17" rims? I'm trying to decide between 16"s or 17"s. I dont want superlow profile tires. But I also dont want my tire hieght to be taller than stock. whats the widest tire I can get away with? what is the widest rim?

thanks,
Mike

Well, if you don't want low profile [I don't know why you wouldn't], I wouldn't go with 17". The only tire size I could fit in the front with my rims [stock offset] were 205/40/17 -- the 215's rubbed the strut towers. It also depends on tire too. I tried Bridgestone and Nitto, and the rim guards on those tires rubbed with 215's. I now have fit Yokohama A520V with 215's in the front, and it's about 1/2" from the strut tower!!!
