Tire Size Recommendation for 17" Wheels

[WillyWonka]

I'm looking at Kumho Ecsta 712's for 17" wheels. What tire size is best? I've heard some talk about odometers being off with different sizes, others having preferences in look to fill the wheel well, etc.

205/40
215/40
205/45
215/45

Thanks.

I have the same tires with 17's. I have 215/40. You will get a better depth on the tire. Looks better with our wheel well too.

215/40/17 is the closest match to oe size. Let me know if I can help on the Kumhos

Sacha,

If you can set them in a package with 17" RH Z5000's, I'll listen. Thanks for the info.

I did a search for wheels on your site -- '00 Toyota Celica -- 17" wheels -- and nothing showed up.

WillyWonka,

Sory no RH here however we do have a tremendous variety for the celi. Check it out again at www.edgeracing.com under er bundles or under wheels. Just about every wheel we offer has a celi fitment.

17x7 Flik Lex (#1 choice) & Titan look cool. With Kumho Ecsta 712 215/40's, that could be a package deal. Let's make a deal. BTW, how long would it take for my order to arrive in Delaware? Thanks for the help.

[Sacha@edgeracing.com]

Flik Lex $1072 delivered
Flik Titan $1108 delivered.

Both wheels will be in in about 2 1/2 weeks

Next question...do you have a shot of a Celica with Lex wheels? Also, Ecsta 712's are Z rated aren't they?

[WillyWonka]

Also, do you recommend tires with better ratings/performance than Ecsta 712's (in their price range)?

Hows this for a quickie

Kumho is the best bang for the buck

[WillyWonka]

Lex's look rather good. Kumho's are my choice (2nd would be Toyo Proxes FZ4--but I'll check into how they rate tread, temp, etc. later). This is too much to expect, but how about a Celica with Flik Titan's. Trust me, you are very, very close to a sale. I'm a man of my word.

I've been talking to someone here at work...showed them the wheels...and they'd like to buy a smaller set w/ tires for his daughter's '93 Acura Integra. I'll keep you posted. Do I smell a group discount ;)

Too quick. You must have a pit crew and a fast digicam hand. I'll get back to you very soon ... 24-48 hours.

Willy those Flik Lex are tight. For the price that Sacha qouted you at....is real good. Sacha could the pic with the Titans on be photochopped? looks like it for some reason.

[Sacha@edgeracing.com]

both pics are photoshopped. also keep in mind that these wheels only weigh 18lbs

[WillyWonka]

I'm going with the Flik Lex's. Now for the tires...what's the package price with Toyo Proxes FZ4's? As for size, you mentioned 215/40's as closest to OE. I imagine that'll be fine, unless you have esthetic suggestions.
