#17568, "Need some advice"


          

I was thinking about buying some new wheels and tires, but I dont have a rather extensive budget. So for the wheels I was looking at the 16" Motegi MR7s and the MR8s. I am also looking at the 225/50RZ16 Kumho Ecsta supra 712 tires, but I have head some people recommend the 205's instead of the 225's. Well I would like you input on which rim you like best the MR7 or the MR8, and also the size of tire that you feel would be the best.

Thanks,

P.s. I looked these wheels and tires at www.jegs.com

Would it be the same with the 17s because I have seen some people with 205/40/17, but I have also heard that 225/45/17 is the most popular size tire on the 17s.

Also... where are you guys getting your 40 series tires? I can only seem to find 45 series online.

Thanks.

it also depends on what tire size you search for. 215/40 is an odd tire size but 205/40 is very common for people upsizing with aftermarket wheels.
