Default Rims that will fit a 245 tire

I'm hoping all you guys can help me find some rims that will fit a 245/40/17 or 245/35/18. I know the OZ Ultraleggera will fit with either of their 18x8's or 17x8's. I've been searching the net and every rim I find, example Axis Reverb, doesn't have an offset big enough to make things work. Thanks

Mmmkay 1st number is tire width, 2nd number is tire height, 3rd number is tire diameter..

I am really baffled at your question. You know the tire size.. so just get the wheel to match. anywho knowing is half the battle

You need a 17x8 wheel. Look for a 17x8 +45 or +48 offset.

EdgeRacing has the Raze R74 wheels in the correct size. 17x8 +48 offset. $134 each. In Gunmetal both and Gold, both with machined lip.

Or.. you could go with Enkei NT03's, RP03's, Rs M, or the RPF1... but they're about $300 a piece.

The Raze R74's are the cheapest 17x8's I've seen so far. They're the best looking IMO too (For the price).

18x8's you don't want to go with - too big and heavy, especially since it looks like you're going for performance.

it sounds like your trying to buy tires then wheels....usually its backwards of that....

and to see what fits a 245, try

www.discounttire.com at http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...itTireSizes.do

once you find your tires go to wheel search and it will have all the wheels that match to the tires. And if your still having trouble you can call them and they will be able to give you every single wheel that matches those tires.

Thanks for the info. Like I said in my post, there aren't a lot of rims that are 8" wide and still have an offset big enough to fit our cars. I just wanted to hear from those who are running 245's.

I'm not running them, myself, but I've done the research and know a lot of people who do. Several YourSciontC'ers have 'em
