Wheel shopping, I have an opportunity to buy a set of 17x9 +25 offset rims for a good price. My car is 08 scion xb release series. I am stock height, stock everything for now. I will consider dropping ride height in the future but not now. I am wanting a little poke but not too aggressive. Would like opinions on how these will sit and what tire size should I run? Considering 215/40/17 tire or 225 . Would love to see pics

The site isn't dead. There just aren't very many people browsing new threads that don't interest them.

Here's a thread that will give you a better idea of some things ...

Site is dead compared to how it was a few years ago.

Also, I get tired of answering the same questions that have already been answered in the aforementioned thread. I can't help you if you won't help yourself.

Although you're showing him it can be done if modified, I don't think it's as beneficial as showing him something with a proper sidewall.

With this being said, there's no way that a 17x9 +25 with a 245/35R17 wrap would fit for a "proper" sidewall.

When you say "proper sidewall" do you mean without stretch?
I tried on a 17x9.5 +15 with a 245 45 17 tire last night. The wheel look good but would definately want a different tire size if I went with this purchase. Any suggestions?

Well my 17x9.5 +15 came in. Going to pick them up today. No tires yet, still trying to decide on a size. Im thinking of 215 40 17 or 215 45 17. If anyone has an opinion that would be great
thanks

UPDATE: 17x9.5 +15 with a 215-45-17 tire. Loving the look.
