5 lugs? even better. I suggest panasport 15x8 and 15x9 if they fit under your fender.

just to give you an idea about tire size, Im runinng 225/50/15 in the rear now and had 225/40/16 in the rear before and both fit with no rubbing, the front is a diffrent story though because of the springs, bump and turn and so one, I have a 1 inch drop and 205/40/16 tend to rub the front fender lips and the present 205/50/15 rub also if there is a turn and bump at the same time. Just a heads up.

Hmmm so 8" wide in the front is too much, but fits the rear just fine?



How much would unmatched tire widths effect handling?

8 in the rear is fine only rubs on hard cornering on very un even surfaces with stock n/a suspension.... 245 40's. it handles 10009309288478 better over stock and the staggered sizes wont make it handle shitty unless theyre WAY different like 295 and 195 lol

is that on a 1st gen or 2nd gen? when you say 245/40's, that must be in 17's, I havent seen such tire in 15 or 16. If they are made in either 15 or 16 let me know what brand cuz I would be intrested in a set..........ohhh and just in case this comes out wrong, Im not trying to be rude, Im just curious because 225/40/16 was the widest low profile I could find when I was searching for some new Kuhmos.

Hmmm so 17x8 in the rear and 17x7.5 in the front?

CrassFC3S 06-29-2005 12:22 PM

theyre kumho asx (some all season things haha) they were hella cheap and the wheels and tires are both just holding the space for my volk gtu hehe so i bought 245 40 17 's in the back for 117 a tire and 225 45 17 in the front for 99 a piece, check them out im sure they have some decent sizes, look on www.discounttiredirect.com
