The other day I ordered some Konig Blatant 17 x 8 rims with some Yokohamas, but they are on backorder. Its gonna take 4-6 weeks for either 17's or 18's. What size do you guys think I should go with. Keep in mind that I live in Michigan where the roads are shity and have potholes all over so 40 series tires may be a bit too thin. I'll either go with the 18's with 40 series tires, or stay with the ones I ordered (17's with 50 series tires). Any input is appreciated.

225/45/17 or 225/40/18 wouldn't be too bad. Thats what I am going with. Roads are bad here in North Dakota also ;)

18s.. we got killer gap..

man i have liked the blatants since i first seen them.. everyones going to start getting them.. damn u all...

anyone know the offset for a 95 GS ??
are you sure that 18's wouldnt rub?

yeah 18s wont rub, but you will need to roll the rear fender...19s rub only slightly and thats with a big drop. and i had a gap at 4"
WTF

What do you mean by rolling the rear fender??

Im on 18's....and I am lowered about 1.7 inches and I dont rub.....oh...wait a minute...I just remembered whenever AI hit a bump or pot hole, I hear a noise from my rear right wheel....shit maybe Im rubbing? lol

im on 18's and i got some much gap it aint funny, btw, i got a 95. anyway, i didnt roll my fenders and it still is fine. Soon im getting it lowered, then it might be a diff. story

Stick with 225/40 series tires on the 17's, you will get the best performance in any situation(so car and driver says) and it will fill the well fine with a drop around 2.25-2.5.

Hey wasuup matt..I just got my 17's, and 225 45's, and the size is perfect. Excellent handling, and with the H&R sport springs, the wheel gap is very nice. I wouldn't go with 18's for performance reasons, plus, i think anyting larger than a 17, look a tad bit too big IMO. With a drop, the 17's look perfect. And by rolling the fenders, sometimes you have to do this in the rear. I might have to, but if you look at the rear fender well, there is a metal lip just inside of the top of the fender. You can take a baseball bat and use the tire as a lever and push up on the metal lip. If i would go over a big bump, i could see that the tire could hit this lip if not rolled. I'm gonna do it soon just to be safe. Hit me up on AOL IM sometime--eclipsed4evr is the SN. Lata man..

Yeah i got 17s with 215/45 17s. Performance wise its great, I have yet to squeal the tires. I think they look plenty big myself, I had ot check to make sure they were 17s.

18s dont rub.. well at least mine dont and thats with a 3in front and 4" in rear drop..

18's----- and they don't RUB..............

IMO i like the 17x7s they look great, you said there was alot of potholes around you, it's the samehere, 18's are to easy to break if you hit potholes to hard.

18!! get 18!! they dont rub... thats what i have...

hm i want 18s but i think im gonna settle with 17s because the roads are pretty bad...
