I recently put on a set of 17' Konig Tantrums rims with 205/40/17 yokos. I'm getting a weird noise, I think coming from my front right wheel like a hollow hovering sound, and when I hit a pothole, my car would sometimes jerk a little to one direction harder than it would normally with my old 14'. Anyone know the torque settings for bolting ur wheels on?

by the way, u must have some fat *** tires rolling on 205/60... damn!

 

Yeah, they're pretty big. Less resistance making turns and easier to go uphill, but my speed and acceleration suffers. I kind of what 14s or 15s again.

 

205/60/17?? holy ****.. that's a 3.5" larger diameter than it should be!

if 205 is what you wanted, 40 is what you should have gotten for the sidewall.

 

oops... it is 40. I was thinking of my old tires. Brain fart. lol.

 

dude, it must take a lot of rubber to wrap 17 foot tall rims. ('=foot, "=inch)
