Chez'sExCoupe

Hi all Ive been lurking around this site for some time, really great site to learn from one, of my favs..
Now for the question. Its probably a newbie question but Im a newbie . I did a search and nothing came up. (know how you guys hate a question being asked repeatedly) will 205/40/17's fit on my 98 ex coupe?
Thanks for your help and keep the info comin....

yes, they will fit. it also depends if your car is lowered.

this has been asked many times. next time, search a little harder.

Those are the perfect size tires for 17, I have a 98 ex 2dr coupe and was looking at 16s and 17s, if you go 17 you have to use 40 series, 16 you can use 45 and if you really want to, believe it or not you can put on 18 but then you need a 35 series rubber...and 205' are perfect...

not lowered.. still stock springs, I plan on getting some adjustable coilovers somewhere down the line but the max i want to drop it is 1.5"

If you lower it in the future with your 17's I think you might also need a camber kit, but don't take my word on that....

depends on offset of rim too. i am guessing you have a 17x7, if you have anything less then I THINK a +32 you can come into some clearance issues with fender to wheel contact.

and to correct sickity, 45 series, 40 series, 35 series means nothing if you don't know the width. your series on a tire is an aspect ratio so a 205/35 is going to be shorter sidewalled then a 305/35.

back to topic to answer this question correctly, we have to know the rim size and offset.

Don't pay much attention to all the people telling you to search. Every question has most likely already been asked at least 5 times so theoretically every question has already been answered so in essence there is no need for any questions to be asked. The very people telling you to search would have no use for the site themselves because they love telling people to search. Ask away.

yeah friction except he already said he was getting 205 and I said 205 was perfect in the same post that I was refering to the 35, 40 and 45 series, so take it out of context if you want but read the whole thing and it makes perfect sense..

Ok the size is 17 x 7 and the offset is 42mm

if you run a 205/40/17 you will bend wheels very easily. if your not gonna go too low. you can fit a 215/40/17 or even a 215/45/17. ride comfort will be much better too.
