Default 17X7.5 / 17X9

Ordered some rims and I want to make sure I have the rubber when they come in. I heard that 225/45/17 and 255/40/17 would be the best size Opinons Please. I'll probably drop the car an inch. Are there any problems I should worry about with rubbing? Last thing Jim can you get me a price quote on some Advans?

We can't help you without knowing the offsets of the wheels.

The sizes you suggested should work.

Id stick to the 225/255 you mentioed. You have strong offsets, and with those tires youll have plenty of grip, no exposed lips, and will not rub when you lower.
Tell Jim which Advans you want - A048, Neovas, etc...
