Best Tire Size for 17x7 & 17x9

[XTCshri2222]

I'm gettin sport max staggered set what tire size should i put on these things?

17x7 front and 17x9 in rear. I have 30mm wide fenders in front and 50mm wide 1/4s in rear. I also have spacers for front 15mm and 25mm spacers for the rear. I'm tring not to use them but if i need um i got them.

what are the offsets on the wheels?

youre definately going to need the spacers, unless you can run stock fenders, or get wider wheels

17X7 Offset +38 23.5 lbs ea. 17X9 Offset +35 25.2 lbs ea.

those would work with a front spacer on stock fenders, you already have the fenders on there or can you still have the stock ones?

if nothing else you could run like 215/45 front and 235/40 rear

[XTCshri2222]

already on the car.

the front fenders are 15mm wider over stock each the rear are 25mm wider over stock each

I bought 15mm spacers and 25mm spacers to compensate.

Problem with the spacers is the lug nut they sent me dosn't bolt into the spacer flush.

Are you getting these from Ebay? The seller 'sgmotoring' always lists teh 17x7 offset as +38, but the sportmax site says its +40.http://www.sportmaxwheel.com/pr_wh_962.shtml

Of course, that guy also sells the wheels in bronze and in 19" size, and neither of those options are listed in the site.

Jesus your running over fenders on 9+35 and 7+38.

GRRROOOSSSS.

The problem with the spacer is that your trying to use a thin bolt-on spacer on ****ty knockoffwheels. Knockoffs usually dont have the pad designed for boltonspacers.

[XTCshri2222]

no

I have 17x7 with about the same offset on the front of my car (s13 coupe) and with no spacer and stock fenders they are sunk in quite a bit. Not flush at all, I need some spacers but haven't gotten around to it yet. A 17x7 +38 with +15mm front fenders is going to need a huge spacer to look flush.

Also I run 215/45's on the front.
