yea... i need new tires... bad and i bought the wheels knowing it because the deal on the wheel was amazing with its condition ther are 5zigen black racing pro-n1s 17" here is my question... since i need new tires i need also 2 find out the right size right now the tire size was made for drifting i dont want this anymore want true size ones 2 go on

A i am not sure of the width i believe 8-9

B the tire size now is 215/45/17 faulken ziexes

C will the true tire size rub against my suspension ... on front im about an inch away with these tires... think i should go true size or just buy what was put on there...

if anyone can help id truly apreciate it...

 

If you are driving a 2000 EX, the right size tire for 17"s is 205/40/R17 but since you are saying that the width of your rims is about 9, that tire size would look stretched. If you go for the 215/40/R17 it might look a little stretched plus you might have some rubbing issues. The 215/45/R17 might be a little big for your car which would cause you speedometer inaccuracy plus rubbing problems.

 

thanx but like its wierd i have an inch from my shocks now im lowering my car tomorrow im gona put them on... any signs i should look for with rubbing on the shocks... now they dont i kno that because there is an inch between them when wheel is straight and turned if i can ill take a pic of the wheel well and ****

the only thing i rub at all is the wheel well in a full turn as of now... and that i really could care less about

You can always try a 225/35-17. That should be very close to stock total diameter, and will be a wider tire to not look so skinny on the rim. You might have rubbing issues if the offset isn't perfect though.
