I had 225 on my last set of 17x7's. They fit, but if you can run a thinner tyre you should.

I had 225 on my last set of 17x7's. They fit, but if you can run a thinner tyre you should.
so 215/45/17??? is that the best size to run with 17x7?
also does anyone know how they will sit with stock susspension?
when i had my Civic i went from a 175/60/14 to a 195/55/15 and the car sat closer to the road and looked really good. Also will the fit flush without rolling guards?
thanks for the help guys,
All depends on the offset the wheels are. If its anything from +40 to about +60 in a 17x7, you won't have to do anything, and they'll fit fine.
If you get anthing below +40 to about + 30 you'll have to run camber on the back, but won't need to roll the guards. Anything below +30 you'll need to roll the guards and add camber.
Just a note, the car is going to look really high if you put 17's on it with stock suspension, and because its a base (I'm guessing) it'll sit even higher then a Type R would sit... and that was high.
If your after some lowered springs, I have a set of lowered springs and shocks for sale.
+40 is the offset.
so 215/45/17 17x7+40.
Yeah it's the base modle DC5.. What springs and shocks you selling? and why? i was going to save up and buy Tein street coilovers.. cos it does sit bloody high. i just wanted to get wheels and rubber first cos i need new tyres.
Let me know 45SET...
Those specs are going to be good.Quote:
