i replaced my 15x?s with 205/60/x on them (OE) for 17x8.5 with 225/45/17s
yeah the entire wheel and tire is a bit bigger. will this throw off my speedometer and odometer? if so, how can i re-calibrate them? (i have had very little experience with rims and tires)
if you need any additional info please ask. thanks!
oh yeah, i went online and found a bbs wheel at tirerack.com that had the same dimensions and it reccomended a 225/45/17 tire for it. (the ones that i bought)
Do you know of a site that tells what size will fit? Spefically the offset. I'm thinking about getting rims with the following & wonder if they will fit without any spacers, mods etc...
SIZE: 17 x 8.5
BOLT PATTERN: 5 x 120
OFFSET: 40mm
i like them alot. the only problem is that since they are a larger diameter than my old tires, they raised the height of the car a bit. oh well, guess i'll just have to lower it
