Default Will these wheels/tire combo work?

PCD: 5H-114.3
Size: 17x7.5 +40/17x8.5+40
Tire 215/45-17

All comments/thoughts are welcomed. I found a rare set of wheels and I am hoping that these may work on my car.


Thanks!

215 for both front and rear??? wouldnt that be kinda small for the rears?

i think if you dont lower it your wheels may look like they stick out of the car....mine is at 45ish and before i lowered it it looked my wheels stuck waaayyy out of the fenders.

Would there be any problems if I were to drop the car? I am looking only for a mild drop, no more than 2".

Thanks for all the help...I really appreciate it

Thank you so much for all your help....I was able to get my hands on the rims and will go with the tires as you suggested. The fitment seems pretty good. When I get a chance, I'll post some pics.

Thanks Again!
