I'm getting 17x7.5" rims, and was wondering what you guys use? Pics would be great also, so I can see what would look best...

Thanks,
Corey

Ugh, wrong forum. Could a mod move this to the Suspension/Handling forum?

Thanks,
Corey

to answer your question, I have 235/40/18 tires on my 18 x 7.5" rims. so on 17 x 7.5 I would say go with 225/45/17 or 235/45/17. just make sure your offset is right for the 235/45/17s. 225/45/17 should fit without a problem

Wierd but according to Discount Tire, if you have a 1995 RS go with 215/45-17 or 225/45-17. If you have a 1998 GS/RS go with 225/45-17 or 235/45-17.

225 45 with all 17's 225 is the highest cross section you should put on a dsm.

thanks beefgg for the sig

225-45-17 is what I have. I wish I would have gotten something wider though. I had 16's with 50 width and they look fokin sweet. The 45's look good though, but definitley don't get 215's that is like NO tire. I'd think you would feel every little bump. That's just my opinion though.

Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself...

where the hell is the ceiling?

I got 235. FWD does not do good with traction so a wider tire will help, plus it also makes teh sidewall a litle thicker and if i hit a curb, my rims will be fine. plus the 235's look sweet in imo
