Default Prodrive GC-05A

Hey guys, I'm looking at a set of Prodrice GC-05A rims for $899. Just wondering if these are worth that kind of money. I know the new series of GC wheels are pretty expensive.

Also they are 17x8+42 114.3 5h 17x9+45 114.3 5h. Just wondering what size tires I should run. I know according to the chart the back should fit a 245 just right, but the front are a little on the low side for an offset. I was thinking about stretching a set of 205's on the front or should I have no problems with 215's. Car is bone stock.

You are going to need to stay with narrower tires to make them work. I would look at 215/45R17 and 245/40R17. Anything wider and you are going to have rubbing issues.
If I can help with the tires let me know.

Do you think a 205 would be small for the front on an 8" rim.

yes 205 is too small. 215s are what you need

That price is suspect. Brand new weren't these almost $700/wheel?
