I am on s-techs/trd struts.

I picked 17x8 wheels with +45 offset that I want to put on.

currently on stock wheels with 215/45/17. Do I use the same size tires or can I go wider? will it better if I used wider? I think the next size up would be 225/45 right?

 

I think 225's would look and feel better for that wheel set up. Sneak peak on the wheels?

 

u can use 225 or 235 on a 8" wheel... even 215 if u wana stretch the tires... on ALL of those tire size u shouldnt rub.... not at that drop level and offset ..

 

245/40 would be a square setup

 

225/45

 

thanks guys!!! This is the wheel. I don't want to waste my current tires because I put them on in november and they still have plenty of tread on them. The shop said it would be $20 each tire to put onto the newer wheels. It would be more economical to put on the current tires right then to get newer ones? Its only been 9500 miles on the current tires.

so 215/45 will be stretched out? What does that mean? Is that bad?

 

VERY NICE RIMS!!

 

use your current tires first

 

Stretched means this. When the rim is wider then the tire.
These are Uyles wheels.




Sweet wheels by the way!

 

215/45 on an 8" will be little to no stretch. well, not as far as tire stretching as of late goes.

check out tyrestretch.com for more examples.

 

$110 later

I needed lug nuts so it was 80+25+tax. Not much stretching I think.

 

Not at all.
But here is a link for lug nuts. It will give you an idea of what you want, need and names of em.

looks like a 225?? what did u wind up getting?

 

nice, im planning on buying the gold enkei's in 17x8 too....but im planning to run the 245/40 set up as suggested by a poster earlier in this thread.

take some pics of ur ride so we can drool!

 

yeah nice Enkei wheels...Im not trying to threadjack here but what would be a suffice tire choice on a 18x8 Rota DPT lowered on RaceLands Coilovers with it hovering right over the tire, not laying on tires, but hovering over them...I want a wider look with little to no rub...I was thinking 235/40/18with a bit of camber added to all 4 corners??
