i wanna set of kei rss alloys,

the size i was quoted was:

front 215/45/17 on a 7x17 wheel
rear 225/45/17 on a 7x17 wheel

both with an offset of 42

i dunno if there is a difference with the year of the car as my stocks are 17's (my04)

does anyone know what the actual size of the stock wheel is?
would these measurments be ok on my car??

would i lose handling. i really like the wheels and they are very strong and lightweight.

 

No, you need staggered sizes: the rear wheels need to be bigger than the fronts. And the offset isn't big enough either.

 

ok so what is the stock wheel sizes and offset??

 

You can find wheel info in the FAQ that points to:

oh ok thanks!

 

And there's a link in my sig to the offset guide.

 

first place to go when looking at wheels!

 

ok i just spoke to kei directly!

they have told me that these sizes they recommend,

front: 215/35/18 front +45
rear: 225/35/18 rear +45

now i told them that i would want a 245/35/18 tyre on the rear and they told me that they do not recommend that and therefore will not be under warrentee???

please tell me i am right???

 

are you going for 18" wheel? or sticking with 17"?

 

I would have thought the shorter you make the side wall (17s to 18s) the less likely it is that the tyres side wall can safely make up the difference between the tread width and the wheel width. Having said that I am not an expert by any means and maybe 10mm to make up on each side is OK......
