Jim, or anyone else who may be able to help me out on this one. Need some new rubber for my BBS RGR 17x7.5, 17 8.5 rims.

I've seen S03s on the Tire Rack in the right size for my rims, are the RE050s available in my size and are they a good alternative to the S03s? I've read some good things about them.

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

The RE-050 is the superior tire of the two.

Those are the stock '04-05 RE-050's. I have them mounted on my 17 x 75 and 17 x 9 volks, so they'll work just fine on your BBR RGR's

 

Thanks much for the advice Koala! You confirmed what I've been hearing, going with the RE-050.

You wont be disappointed! It behaves very similar to the S-02... with better wet traction.

 

I agree with the sizes and the RE050 is a very good tire. If I can help let me know.
