hey i got those. same sizes too. 17 by 7. im not sure of the bolt pattern. does it really matter? i jes bought mine and put them on. so did my buddie who has the same kind. on the site it doesnt say that it has different bolt patterns. im pretty sure they should fit. they fit 4 lug and 5 lug. so dont worrie bout bolt pattern. and they look tight on our cars. good decision. as in what size tires to get if i could get tires now for my same rims i would have gotten 235/40/17. but since i didnt really now jack about anything i jes let them put it. although i am happy they put wide tires on my car. if you dont want that wide of a tire jes get like 215's or 225's. thats my $.02

Bolt pattern is 5-4.5 I've got 17x 7 wheels, and i use 225-45-17 tires. Look and fit good, and speedo seems to be right on..

depends what brand tires you get. i've heard only good things about the kumho ecsta 712's, and they run like $100/tire. falkens are a pretty good tire for the money too.

both of those are like econo perf tires. if you want something decent at a good price look into the names your used to like yokahama. i'd get yok paradas like 160 in 225 45 17, dunlop sp5000 like 140 in same size or if you got cash michelin's anything in the pilot line lookin at 190+ but michelins are the best.

those are some sweet rims. at a few of the posts i saw that you guys put 5x4.5. i thought it was 5x114.3. unless they are the same. maybe it's just me cause it's been a rough day.

Yep i got confused at that too. They are both the same. 114.3 is the metric size, and 4.5 is the standard size. From what i have been told, the standard size is what most tire/wheel places go by..
