I got a free set of 17 Inch rims and I test fitted on the car in the air and with 255/45/R17 the rubber rubs on the spring the rubber bulges out of the edge of the rim so I know narrower tires it will fit but 1 thing I noticed that the rim spoke has mabey 1mm clearance from that little hump on the brake caliper under the mazda logo. Do you guys know if that can be filed down of should I get a spacer on the rim?



Ohh ! ! with what tire could I fit this rim?

According to the tire Size Calclator with 235/40/17 will fit. Put in stock tire size and enter the size I said and you will see it fits. You think it will really fit?

ok we know that the rims are 17 inches...... but how bout the width? cant recommend tire sizes without the width. also what kind of rims are these and what kind of car did they come from?

I think they are 7 inch mabey 8 I will find out today.

3 spoke = Teh Nice

They came from a rustang.

8 inch

i cant understand one word you wrote

in other news im getting free 225x60x16's for snow tires for the rear of my car, woo.



kevin.

if its 8 inches wide, its just like fd rims, and i've heard people use 245 on them.

I ran 17" mustang rims with 225 front and 255 rear tires. No clearance issues at all.

ok after polishing up the chrome I see that they are 17x7 dont know the offset. What tire size is a good combo all the way around with these rims? I also think I will have to get a little spacer becuase of clearance issues with that little brake caliper hump, where can I get them at?

245x40R17 wioll give good results and not fuckup your speedo too much either.



kevin.

that is 245 all the way around?

those are the same rims i have on my stang.. from prolly a 2000 mustang gt... they are 245/45 zr17's .. if they are the stock goodyear tires that came with the rims

nahh the rims came of a mustang they are 3 spoke chrome rims they are 17X7 and I was asking what tire size would fit the fc.



I guess i will go 245/40/17 all aroundmabet 235 since I will be droping the car a bit.
