at the end, it all comes to the tyre size.
I am running with 17 8 front and back both with 38
but for front i have 225 and for rear i have 235 tyres.
I have to run 5mm spacer on the front to match with guard.
It is ok to leave it just like that but I want the maximum looking
so I guess when the wheels chosen then the tyre size must be chosen carefully

this is what ive watching and hoping to bid on what tyres would be the best for these rims for S15???

 

[Nicely]

Do you mean what size?

 

[sushiming]

what tyre size would be the best

 

[Nicely]

Difficult to say. Going to depend on how they sit. And if you intend changing you supsension and lowering. 225s is a good bet for front. 245, maybe 255 for back. I've got the same question with mine. And the offset isn't as good...

 

[kenji]

Should make this into a sticky

There's a link to it in Useful Theads.

S15
....17 9 +10 SpecS15

I have 17x9j's with +17 offset, 215 fronts, 225 rears. Would +10 not make them stick out even further?? as they are already out past the arch.

Nice choice of wheels :thumbs:

Have you got wide front arches mate? When I tried 17 * 9's with a 19 offset on mine they stuck out about 1 inch past the outer edge of the arch.

Nope, when i got the car it was running a fair chunk of camber, but with that corrected the wheel stick out 15-20mm from the arch The tyres are streched so the tyre is under the arch but the wheel aint

 

[sushiming]

so the wheels ive seen on ebay are perfect really?
so aslong as i get the right tyres should be ok
what about 225 front and 235 rear??

 

[Topper]

Sounds about right mate :thumbs:

 

[sushiming]

right just have to win the bidding and save up for some tyres haha

 

[Topper]

Dont bid yet, wait till near finishing time then jump in :thumbs:

 

[sushiming]

yeh i know i ebay a lot hehe....well did

 

[Nicely]

As long as you also realise that the tyres will set you back another ?500-600.
