Quick question about the wheels i'm getting soon
Monday, January 09, 2006 2:08 PM


1. What ya think?

2. I'm currently riding on 15" Sunfire wheels (standard on Toyota 2.4Z's) and they have a 65 profile tyre. I want the 17's i'm getting to have the same rolling radius so that the wheel gap stays the same (as the car is lowered 2"), so what size tyre should i go for???



Regards


Ian

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CONFIRM THIS INFO AS I'M PUTTING MY DEPOSIT DOWN IN 3 HOURS AND DON'T WANNA GET THE WRONG WHEELS!



Jus phoned the shop with the wheels and they have them in the fitment with an offset of 40 so that should be fine right?

and i'll be getting 215 45's as the wheels are 17 x 7 anfd this should keep the wheel gap the same right?



Hopefully the wheels will look the nuts when i have them fitted at the end of Jan

Use the tire size calculator here.
Thats the only thing I know to use cause idk alot bout wheels. Try searching too because this stuff comes up all the time.

Good Luck

Also look here.
It says anything between 35 and 48 offset so u should be ok but keep in mind as said before, idk about wheels.

Was there any particular reason why you weren't able to read the sticky on tire/wheel size at the top of this forum? Your answers are all right there.



The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.
