You need shorter sidewalls.

What size tires?

the tires are 245/40/17, they are a little to thick of a tire but i was broke and i got a great deal on them used so they will do for now until i have to buy new ones.

Why all the hate guys?

-The wheels are a huge improvment

-The sidewall is fine, since when is a 245/40 on a 9" wheel thick? haha

Nice update.

like i said, i was broke after i bought the wheels and My friend hooked me up with a good deal on those tires for the time being..you sound like my g/f when she is having a bad hair day...jus sayin.

the color is played out i guess but it looks good and the price and fitment is great for 4 lug.

definitely an improvement over the previous wheels. But do not like the color scheme you have going there.

I think they look good. Sometimes its all about the photography tho, those pics are dull and boring, dont do it justice.
