Looking to replace my 2 rear tires with 215's, just wondered what it looked like. I'd be coming from 205/40/17

 

Tell us the width of the wheel and the offset that you'll be putting those tires on.

 

17x7 4x100/114.3 40 - 40 OFFSET
RS-Limited Brand
Ricochet model

 

i have 215 all around

 

215 MIGHT rub if your offset is ~40 with a drop of ~2". I ran 205/40/17 and the ride is terrible. The stretched look of 205 on 7.5" wide rims doesn't look very good either.

But I might be picking up a set of 17x7 wheels with 215/40 this week. I'll post it up for you to see.

 

What do you mean stretched?

Heres what it looks like now:



I was just wanting a slightly wider tire in the rear to "stagger" it a little.

 

going for the rwd look huh? the 4th gen does have wide rear fenders and ive been curious of this look also.

 

 

if you want something staggered, you should probably go with 215 in the front and 225 in the rear. i think the 205 40 are just too small of a tire for 17x7s. i've got 215 45 for my 16x7s, and i think i could have gone with 225 easily.

 

I've got 215/40/17's all around, heres a side shot.
Ignore the dents.

 

usually you want wider meats up front on ff's

Okay.. WOW. I decided. Im doing it.

I might get some spacers too..

And yes, i like the RWD look. It reminds me of my old rims I had, looked meaner then it does now.

What about 225's, anyone?
