Yes, they will fit. The 35 and 55 are just the length of the lug nuts...

35mm


50mm

I'm running S.Drives in 225/45/17 on my stock wheels and I love them. They're so much better than the stock Yokos, especially in the rain.

I love my Ecsta's, but they're completely useless in the rain, boost in 4th = .

I suggest dishing out a few extra bucks on the tires and getting something that will be great all around. From the looks of your choices, I'm going to assume that you plan on running a summer wheel and a winter wheel...

Here is a good comparison chart.

Personally, I'd spend the extra money and get the class winners. They're $139 a piece for 235/45R17.

With a hotchkis drop will I rub with the rpf1's in a 17x8 et35 with a 235/40 tire? I'm getting nervous now because I was told by some people I won't but by some I will so I just want to make sure I order everything right before I jump I have something I can't bring back. would i help running a lower tire?

wheels gods if you can chime in...help would be very much appreciated
