I have 17x7s, wondering what sidewall size would make the rims look snug fit. Right now its 215/40/17 and they look horrible



It's on RB 1 inch lowering springs also.

 

225/55's would look hot!!!!

 

be real.. 225/45/17 would do you good

 

Running larger tires to fill out the gap is dumb and will hurt your performance. Smaller tires give you a performance boost though due to lower gearing and a lower CG height for better cornering. Taller tires also will increase the chances of rubbing.

 

What size tire would look good for the stock GXL wheels???

Looking for some Falken Azenis....

 

205/50/15 or 195/50/15, but these tires are smaller in height than stockers.

 

Do pontiac GTA's fit 82-92 bodystyle?

 

got specs?

 

will 18x10 -9 and 18x12 -9 work?

 

No. They could possibly be made to work with a widebody and a whole bunch of extra time, money and effort, but basically no.

 

thx Black91n/a...i was hoping with widen fenders both front and rear they would work, but with a wide body, i'm not really feeling it. Dam, i really love those 3 piece work meisters...lol

 

ok, I read the first 6 pages... and well here's my question

I want 17x ? with 255/40/17 tires

what width rim and offset do I need to fit front and back? And I still want to lower my 88 vert an inch or so.

 

i'm wanting to run 17x8 or 18x8 in the front and 17x9 or 18x9 in the rear and i wanted a lip on the front and a bigger lip in the back but i'm not sure what offset to use and if the 17 or 18 inch would fit better could anyone help

 

9 +30 in the back would fit, in the front, it will probably rub and extend past the fender at the same time.

There are ways to fit a 9 in the front, i'm sure others will elaborate.

 

if you want 255/40/17 all around, i'd say 17x9 +20 ish. you'll need wide fenders up front, and roll the back

 

You'll need 25mm/50mm rear fenders.

I've seen an 18x11 -7 in the front on an FC with just 25mm fenders.

We sell 40mm front fenders. new item!

I agree...
122 pages of postings, and few pics; that is a shame...

...the guide in the link above is great info...

 

Can I squeeze a pair of 18X9.5 +12 with 285/30ZR18 Toyo Proxes in the rear of an FC?

 

^^

haha no

 

lol i put 17x9.5 +15 with 225/45's on and i have to roll after proper camber, definately you wont fit a +12 with a 285

 

+20 is all? can't get away with more in the front?

I was hoping not to have to roll the back. I suppose I can get them and just find out.

I can't get the link to work. Site down (temporarily?) Maybe it's the IE8 beta...

thanks

 

Well... I guess it's just a matter of using different tire size, the wheels I'm looking to purchase already come with those tires.
Obviously with an ofset that low fender rolling is a must, I was just curious about the tire fitment. I should have been more specific, I'm riding on Teins SS and Mazdatrix Camber Adjuster BTW.

 

if you're into competitive drifting, stretching tires can be an option.

If you're into road racing, you'll need to get a different set of wheels.

 

18 x 9.5 +12/+20/+25/+30/+35/+48 5h x 114.3 <- looking to buy some rotas.... which would work best with the biggest sized tire in the back, and awesome fitment in the front?
