curse this stupid car ahhh!!!!!!!

hahhahah all the wheels that are made for htis car are soo ugly and the the deep dish chrome rims that are out there won't fit!!

 

the car places in town are telling me that these rims will fit though?? are they lying basterd tryin to get my money then or what?!?

 

They will fit but they will stick out. If this doesn't bother you then go ahead. Of course they are trying to get your money. They are in the business to sell you something.

 

hmm its weird though because some websites that carry the rim and have searches for "will this rim fit" say the rim will fit with a 45mm offset...
how bad will they stick out, will it look like chocolate poop? stickin out rims will look gayyyyy (no offence to homosexuals intended)

 

I'm running 44mm offset on 7" rims all around for winter tires only. The 205 fronts on mine are just outside the fender line and my 225 back ones are just at the fender line. You are planning to run 7.5 and 225 on the front, so they'll stick out another 1/2 to 3/4" further than mine. On the back, you are running 245, so they'll be out about a 1/2" further than mine. On mine, the tires already fling out crap from the road way more than the stock wheels/tires do. If you can live with this, then go ahead. It's down to personal choice.

 

A 17x7.5 +45 front is just fine. You will not rub if you run a 215/45/17 tire for daily driving.

17x8.5 +45 will work as well. You will be fine. Run a 235/40/17 tire.

FYI you can go as low as a +38 on a 17x8 and +42-47 on a 17x8.5. Again this is if your running a 235/40 rear tire.

Some members will disagree but I have had similar and same setups and have been running them for 4 years and have had no problems with daily driving and mountainside runs.

Just look at the pic in my sig. Its a +38 front with a 215/45/17 on a 17x7.5 wheel. No rubbing what so ever and camber is very near OEM specs. The rears however are not at OEM spec. This is with and without OEM front fenders.

 

I think we're having 2 different conversations here. At least I have never said anything about them NOT fitting or rubbing. I'm only saying they will stick out much more than stock. If he's OK with this, then he should go ahead.

Too dark to really tell. But mine with +44 offset on a 7" rim stick out just a tiny bit.

 

I'd really like to see some pictures from all angles in the light also.
