6383, What size tires are on STOCK gsx wheels? also, why the hell...
Posted by grneclipse, Jan-28-02 05:53 PM
Just curious, the wheels I just bought have a 50 series tire on them, and I was wondering if it came stock with a 50 series....that's kinda big for a 17" rim,

Also, WHY the hell is my car squeeking like a mouse now that I put my front camber kit on?? I think I know what it is, but I just want somebody on here to GRAB ME BY THE HELMET, and tell me. (sigh) so many problems, and not enough money...

Hmm 50 series sounds bout right. Your don't wanna go too thin you want some sidewal haha I have 40 series 16s and those things suck ass. 16s are 55 series so I would guess 50 is perfect for 17s. I'm running 50s right now and haven't had a problem.

do you have the ingalls front camber kits? If so ... there you go. Mine squeak like crazy (less since I put on the pro-kits though ... really bad when I had the sport lines.).

Don't you have to put some type of grease or something on the bushings to prevent that.

yeah you do at first, but it will eventually dissappear and then come the sqeaks.. but is not that bad.. only really notice it when i go over bumps or something.. but having those bushings is totally worth it no matter what.. the handling and the ride are superb even on my one blown front shock and still stock shocks and springs.. but its just one of those side effects of modding :-)

yeah they get 50 series but you can goto 225/40-17 they're about 7.5 inches wide. so that rubber would fit great "like a glove"

Its actually 17" x 6.5", but a 225 would still fit. I would go 225/45/17 IMO
