they look great, i bought my rims from my friend who was berlina and they looked really good.

just remember that it if you want it to concave you're going to have to go with a 9in rim.

and you can buy work emotions for super cheap i let mine go with tires for 875.

 

if i go 17x8 up front and 17x9 rear, would 215/245 tires still fit or would i need to step up to 255 on the rear

215 would fit on the front with a slight stretch but, you may want to step up to a 255 in the rear. or at least a 245

 

alright is stretching bad? ive never bought any rims other than stock offset and sizes so idk how to figure all this stuff out

 

thats its a tough question to answer since both camps take it way to seriously. there are times when stretching tires can go to far. as in a 215 on a 10 in rim which makes it look like a bubble and then there are times when you're stretching a 285 on a 11.5 in rim.

better to ask all the super slammed crazy offset guys. since they are very knowledgeable on the subject.

but, here is a question? are you dropped by any means (i.e. spings or coils)? in my opinion your best bet is to get tire that fit which would be i think and don't quote me on this.... 255 in the rear and 235's in the front.

 

alright, i will be lowered on swift springs, so about an inch drop. its not too big of a deal to buy bigger tires, ill just wait and buy rims and tires at the same time

 

yeah, do it right the first time and it will be less headache!

you can buy the rims and just save some cash for some tires. just roll on stock rims for a little bit

 

alright will do, thanks. Lets get some more pics.

 

You can run 215/245s without much of a stretch depending on what tires you choose. Yokohama S drives, Dunlop Dirreza Star Specs, Kuhmo XS, etc. will tend to stretch less than other tires like Falken FK 452. I was running 225s up front with a 9 inch wheel and you can see how much it stretched. I've also tracked the car with that setup but I don't recommend stretching more than that since then you're putting tensile stress on the sidewall and it's not designed to take that. (Most tires will to a certain point but the tire will have a lower fatigue time and fail quicker than unstretched)
