View Full Version : What Should I Do, What Do You Think....
I ordered Eagle 196 17"x 7.5 Rims(Look Like ZH500 Racing Harts) and my car has full Kamanari kit and i was wondering what tire size would look and be best with this setup
205/40/17 R
215/40/17 ZR
Or 225/40/17
Which do you all think i should go with?
Oh P.S the car isnt lowered and will never be

if your never going to lower the car, then I'd go with maybe a 45 series tire b/c your still going to have quite a bit of wheel gap with 40
alright so what should i do from there 205/45.....215/45 or 225/45?
Don't we have a wheel adn tire forum?
yes and if you noticed i posted this question a week ago in that forum and got no reply

with a 7.5" wide rim, go with the 215s.
so you think 215/45/17 ZR would be good? or 215/40/17 ZR

dontttt get 205! imo thats not wide enuff for the 7.5 rim, it would get damaged alot. at least do the 215, 225s would look sweet as hell, yeah its heavier, but we all know that your not goin the speed route anyways_.... i would go with 225-45-17 ZR, ur tires DONT have to be z`-rated btw, the tread just looks cooler but your gonna pay more for z`-rated tires, oh and can i suggest sumthin???? why not go with Scorcher tires, i totaly dig these tires and will probably be my next set, theyr about 125 each for a 17 inch wheel, their the tires that have a line or two of red-blue-yellow-green-whatever color- of tread, it looks very cool, its up to u... good luck, we gotta meet up soon, i wanna see your kit. whered u get it painted at>__
got it painted at by my dad's friend at his shop, painted installed grills placed...and the left over paint he used to touch up the ding on my door and the rock scratch on my hood
by the way thanks for info serge ill buy 225/45/17s then
also you dont think it will rub or screw me up at all?
OH yeah almost forgot you never called me back so we could get that stuff
