white mazdaspeed 17"

This weekend i did some work on the 7. I added some okay quality front speakers. The stereo sounds sweet now. These clarion speakers were just lying around, thought i'd put them on. I painted my calipers. Added clear blinkers. Am thinking on putting these wheels. What do you guys think?

See the problem with the current wheels. Totally wrong offset. Thats why i'm thinking of putting these on. I want some thick tyres.

I had those wheels and with a 235-40-17 tire in the front (fucked up my pasenger fender) The guy I bought them from had a 215-40-17 and I thought that was too small but now I know it wasn't. On the rear I had a 275-40-17. The tire was to big for the rim IMO. I would have gone with a 255 next time.

Thanks a lot. I'll keep that in mind. I think you are absolutely correct about the front tyres. I'll go with a thinner tyre.

About the lisence plate. Thats the language we speak in. Its BANGLA.

^^^ i had that happen too, just in the front. I had 235/45/17 BF goodrich gforce TA KDWs on there.
#1 too high and #2 too square on the profile.
I now have 225/45/17 BF goorich gforce sports and have no issue. the corner of the profile is considerably rounds, givng me much more clearance.

Don't you mean wider tires?!? How do you benefit from thick tires?? other than filling up the wheel-well and maybe pot-holes. Doesn't wider tires = traction?!?
