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

 

Geez guys this site just seems dead

 

17x9.75 25 offset. 205,40,17

 

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 ...

 

thnx

 

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.

 

Any pics
