Default Help with wheels.

Thinking about purchasing Enkei J10 Wheels 17x7+38 X4 - Yokohama S-Drives 225/45/17 x4 but i dont really know much about the sizes and what not. since all 4 rims are the same size, what would be the down side/ up side of something like this? also as far as the height it is currently stock, but will be lowering soon. IF i was to get these, i wouldnt need to roll flare or anything correct?

only reason im looking into these because they seem like a decent deal and since i have to get 4 new tires for my stock AP1's might as well get these if everything works right.

The 38mm offset wheel is going to be tight. Without the suspension being modified the handling will suffer with the same tire on all four corners. You could run the 215/45R17 on the front and the 225/45R17 rear. It would not be ideal but it would give you some stagger.

If I can help let me know.

Have a look at the Wheel Fitment Guide stickie.

Long/short: 225's on +38mm offset is not gonna work up front, not even close...

there is something you can help me out with.. what would be the best setup as far as tires for stock AP1 rims?

i do know they have 205's in front and 225 in the rear. would i be able to get wider fronts and rears? if so what would be the ideal setup for a DD with possible auto-xing?
