Wheel ideas?

[Redlyne_jr]

alright guys i have been looking around for a set of new wheels with summer coming up and i think i found a pretty decent place that does packaged deals.. www.wheelsnext.com? anyone ever heard of them? anyways i found a set of 17 that i want and 17x7 and then they run like 205/40/17 on all four... what size tires do you guys run.. i definatly want to do a stagger setup like may 215/40/17 front and then like a 235/40/17 rear or something... whats the widest you can fit on the front and rear with out rubbing? oh and i guess i should ask what is a good offset?

Thanks

[thinmyster]

try 17X8 and 17X9 with like a 35 offset front and a 38 offset rear. dont do 17X7 on all four corners

stagger means you put wider in the rear...not just a wider tire...hope thats what you were getting at

Why anyone would want to do that i don't know. That would just look like ass, and he would have to run a stretched 205 out front to clear the perch and fender. :barf:

lol thats what makes you guys funny. with s13's about 2 years ago people would run the same sizes that you guys like. now people are running 18x9.5 +15 in the front on stock fenders

plus if its a daily driver why not do some stretching and have some sick fitment?

Haha, well I hope we never get there. Plus if its a daily, then by running so stretched you are simply increasing ur chance of damage from pot holes, and curbs. Regardless what anybody says not all potholes are avoidable. Good tires have rim protectors on them for a reason, stretching renders that feature pointless.

Sometimes a stretch can look good, but it doesn't work on deuces.

I ran spacers once. I don't think I would do it again and wouldn't recomend them to anyone that didn't carry a torque wrench.
