New Rims, Opinions on Tires, lugs and caliper
 

i just got a set of xxr 527 17x8.25 et25 for my Flint Mica.
first i don't wanna rub so i was wondering if i should go with
falken fk 452 215/40/17 or fk 452 215/35/17

the 40 is way cheaper lol

also shouldd i paint my calipers gold and gold lugs.

thanks

Dont know the look your going for but I've herd 452's dont stretch that well

btw im lowered in s techs

what are the best tires to stretch then and thanks for replying

215/40 stretch will be more than enough to never rub...just roll the fenders, problem solved.

also, the 452's stretch just fine...they are similar to the 912's. other good tires that many people stretch would be toyo (specifically the Proxy T1R), hankook, nangking, kumho, and falken mainly for their cheap price.

s-techs are not really low enough to get you much rubbing with only 8.25 wide tires...

i had 215/45 before on 17x9 and i was rubbing

thats cuz your sidewall is too fat for 9 wide tires so itll be taller. for wider tires you usually want more width and lower sidewall ratio... 17x9 would probably work nicely with 215/40 or even 215/35. add in a bit of camber and itll be fine if you want, or roll the fender...

thanks for helping
now i need to see if gold calipers and lugs go with flint mica and chromium black rims

sounds like it will be a nice fitment! flint mica, chromium, and gold might be a bit much, just my 2cents though

So what color should i paint my calipers

I have 17×9 xxr 526 with 215/40/17 continental xtreme contact from nlmotoring.com they should still be having a sale they were like 87 bucks per tire

x2

40 series should be fine

Mehh id leave themm but if you really want to paint them i'd go charcoal or something dark

im gonna paint calipers black.
should i use this lugs http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/mm...tegory_Code=L1

should i go with neo chrome? need opinions

I think they look awesome but then again its a lot going on. Depends on your preference
