Rim and tire size question?

you will feel that the car will go abit slower cause the wheel would be heavier and it will take longer for the tyre to rotate.

anyone has tegra stock rims for sale?

Can i ask
Would you see a KW increase even very small with smaller lighter wheels ???
say you had bling 20kg chromies on and then changed to spoon SW388 15" like 5kw or something maybe :P

Yeah, im running 215 / 40 / 17, and I can't get my mates in the back and go around a corner without rubbing...

Noticed a slight decrease in perf. when I put them on also.

Just shop around.
These are the colours.

no kw increase, more about letting a low torque engine not work as hard - so technically you are making the car more efficient.

i'm fairly sure its 2" increase in diameter but only 1" increase in width, up to a maximum of 7", unless your car came stock with rims wider than 7" in which case no increase is allowed..... (although not relevant for tegs).

I'm running on 205/40/17 atm...and don't have any problems... as long as you don't lower your car too much, so you have room for the suspension to move....

also if you stick to the above size for 17's it won't put your speedo out.

running 205/40/r17 (or wider if i can? can i run wider?)


Since i dont have a lot of power will i be like slower in the 17s than like the stock rims?

you can run 17's with 40/205 is fine anything bigger you will lose alot of power, unless you go and get yourself some really nice light weight rims!!! heahehaeh, im running 17's on my itr with 215 rubber

i got 225/40/16's on my car...LOVE the handling factor...
