85910, Got new wheels
Posted by pr0, Jun-06-05 03:13 PM
Hopefully they fit :D They should be going on tomorrow. Tires are brand new 215/45/17, hoping they reduce the wheel gap I had with the 40 series.

They're slotting everything nowadays. First rotors, now rims. Dang tuners.

now i might be wrong, but 45 series is a lower profile than 40 series.

so your wheel gap is actually going to be worse

you got it backwards
the higher the series the higher the profile
225/50R16 is much thicker sidewall then 225/40R16
series is the ratio of sidewall to tread, the higher it or the wider the tread, the thicker the sidewall

They fit on perfect although I think I still need to lower at least an inch. Sad thing is they don't stand out like my white ones did :(

I'll post pics later, its still raining outside. Friggin gay. haha

if anyone puts on 17inch rims, i think a nice 50 series tire should accompany them. Makes the tire look nice and thick, and it most definitely reduces the wheel gap. I have my GSX 17's w/50 series and i love um. When i upgrade to 18's, I will use a 45 series tire.

The 45's are alright, it looks much more normal now with it. I had a 40 series before and it looked so messed up.

I like the white ones alot more.. the acura ones are nice, but the white is alot more flashy.

Oh well alot better then my hub caps!
