I am also thinking of running the 16'' slipstreams, since I have brand new tires on my stock rims now and I would just use those. I can't find info if they will fit?

you will not find 17x7 in the slipstream - so you will have to go 17x7.5 in front and 17x8.5 in the rear if anything.

they will not have offers for the offsets, you will get what is avaib and i blieve they are +40s or +45. you will be just fine and if anything, id recc sticking with 17s.

im running slips at 17x7.5 +48 (front) and 17x8.5 +45 (rear).

tires - 215/45R17 and 245/40R17

the rota slips i was loooking at come in 17x17.5 +45 and 17x8.5 +48. I was wanting to run these in the front and rear respectively. Tirewise I was contemplating a 225/45/r in the front and a 255/40/r in the rear. But since I'm also wanting to do some espelir springs I was thinking of maybe doing 245 in the back rather than the 255. I don't want to have to do any fender rolling which i might have to do with the 255's...?? lol gotta do more homework on it.

Yes, they will fit and you can re-use your current tires if you want. I think they are available in 7" +45 front and 8" +48 rear.

I was contemplating those but decided to go with bronze. Plus by the time I paid shipping it'd be the same as if I bought them from a dealer. But whoever buys them from you local p/u will be getting a good deal.

I have these slipstreams in the sizes you are speaking of. I have Tein RS coilovers. My car is not slammed, it is slightly higher than the reccomended ride height due to the road quality in Alaska, I have 225/255 tires, id I was any lower I'd be rubbing. I would have to dial in more camber, or do a roll
