12613, Look what I'm wrapping my AVS intermediates around(pic)
Posted by fabry827, Oct-09-02 01:42 PM
I just ordered some 235/40zr17 Ypkohama AVS intermediates and here's what they will be going on:

They are 17x7.5 with a 45 mm offset. The color is gunmetal. $520 for all 4, including center caps shipped to Ohio. Only 16.5 lbs each. Man, I reccomend that some of you guys check out the wheels Rota makes. They are REALLY strong, most are light, and the main thing, they're cheap as hell. Here's a few sites that have them: revolutionsmotorsports.com

You did get 5x114.3 on the lugs, right? I've looked at the rota wheels, but it seems all the ones i like don't have the correct lug pattern. A lot of their wheels are only 4 lug it seems (or maybe that's just the places I look).

Yeah, I got the 5 bolt pattern spaced 114.3mm like we require. Alot of the honda style wheels only come in 4 bolt. The Tarmac, Battle, Subzero, and Slipstream all come in 5 bolt.

They only seem to have +45 or +48mm offset. Are either of these good for our cars?

The 45 mm offset is fine w/ a 17x7.5" wheel. The 48mm would PROB work, but I think the tire would be getting pretty close to some of the suspension. If you happened to find what you wanted and it was only in a 48 mm offset, you could try it and if it didn't work, you could get a set of 5mm spacers, which would make the wheels fit about perfectly. This is just my rambling. I haven't tried all these sizes, but I am comparing them with the sizes that I have had in the past and how much clearance they provided w/ various offsets. Hope this makes some sense.

ok once again. 235 40 is to wide. 225/40 is 8 inches wide. i understand you have the tires already so watch your air pressures and remember the pressure will rise as you drive.

I've ran 235mm wide tires for a long time now on several different wheels w/ no ill effects. They fit fine.

the 235's are cool and all but becareful with a 7.5 wide...it will cause the sidewalls to bow in and cause the tire to look like this...

which isnt good for the tire ...you take all the flexing out of the tire which in turn is a crappy a$$ ride
