you'd need 17" tires as well... judging from your sig pic, you have 16" wheels

Haha, like i said, I am new to the scene.

I would really like a set of 17's, but when I am only making minimum wage, its hard to 600+ on a set of wheels and tires.

Those are 15" wheels in your sig, so don't buy 16" wheels either

Dude, you don't need to measure.

Look on the side of the tire, if they are 15's they should say something like:

195/65R15

R stands for radius. The radius of the wheel is 15".

The 195 is the width, the 65 is the height.

there is a possibilty that they are 16" wheels and not caps. 03+ fires have that style as a 16" alloy rim.

you dont have to pay $600 to get 17's... i bought mine for $400 shipped to my door and the rims were only lightly used, tires brand new. you just gotta shop around for a good deal.

Learn something new everyday, it just seemed like common sense for the R to stand for radius.

Although I guess they don't have an H and W for height and width either, so..
