Yes...that is not a TYPO. I now have (5) F R E E Continental Extreme Contact 225/45ZR17 tires that I got from my workplace (no, I did not steal them either). Searching endlessly for a few days now...I would like to get some wheels for those tires. By the way, it is for a 90 S13 coupe....stock height at the moment. Any rim recommendations? 17x9????

17x8 or 17x8.5 would be your best bet, depending on what fitment youre looking for

if youre looking to stick with that size after these wear out get something to make it worth it, youll find lots of wheels in those sizes

if youre planning on going wider it might make more sense to just get a set of 17x9 now, run them with the stretch for one set of tires, then switch to a 235 or 245 for your next set

Somehow or another I can't seem to find any nice looking rims. I do like the SportMax 006 but it seems like everyone has them. I don't want to get any that are not deep dish. It looks too much like FWD units. Any suggestions? I want to keep the wheels under $600 if possible.

probably going to be difficult to find anything new for under 600 in 17" diameter...id say save a little longer till you can spend like $8-900, thatll expand your options a ton

You could cop some Rota D2's from the classifieds for like $650.

They will be 17x8.5 +25 which will be perfect for those tires.

They don't look too shabby.
