u guys got any ideas? i dont want the tires to be too big so it rubs and i dont want em too small so they leave wheel gaps all over. jus throw ur thoughts around, ur more than welcome to. lol

 

what size rim? i have 17's 215/45 and ...i had to shave the fenders a lil bit but i love em

 

It depends. If you want 17's you'll need lower profile tyres to avoid scrubbing (i run 17x7.5's with 205/40-17's and have never scrubbed once) or you can go for 16's with a slighlty larger sidewall and a better ride quality.

There's a few variables matey, it depends what you want!

 

I have 18x7.5 with 215/40 front is fine but rear has a -2.5 camber. Gonna get my fenders rolled and get a camber kit to correct the camber. Although with this set up I dont rub at all.

 

15" = 205/50 or 205/55
16 = 205/50 or 215/50
17"= 215/40 or 205/45

Anything around there and u should be ok, depending on offset

 

cool. thanks guys. im actually lookin at either 215/40/17 or 215/45/17 for 17" rims. but i think 215/45/17 will be too big for my 2" drop tho.

My sister has a 2.5" drop and she runs 215/45/17's. Much better ride, tread life, and tire options.

 

thanks mann.

 

runnin a 205/50 on a 16in rim....love it

 

just make sure you get that camber kit. dont wanna fuq up some good tires. =D

 

What offset rims are you guys running? Will 215/40/17 rub with a +37 offset?

 

215/45-17 here, the right front rubs on the inner fender on the right side when i turn the wheels all the way to the left. Otherwise, no probs.

Hers is an 02, but they have the same wheel well, so it doesn't matter, from 2001-2005.

Not that I know of. I've only been in her car a couple times, and I didn't notice any rubbing. Her wheels are 17x7 +42's.
