17x7.5 With ET38?

205s would be a good compromise of both on a 7.5" wide tire. just a touch of stretch.

awesome thanks a lot. :p

well i dont want to run skinny tires. i want to run thicker ones because i want some thickness as well as a bit of stretch.

why run a skinny tire and lose the traction benefits of a wider/taller rim? 205s minimum 215s would be better.

damn that looks real good. so then 215/40/17 are low profile tires huh?


ahh i get it now. so would that mean that 205/40/17 would be low profile tires? id be interested in some thickness as well as some stretching. and they do make 195's but not many haha. would 195's be a lot of stretch? i dont want to make it obviously illegal out here in cali because popo's here are real shits.

Here is precisely what that looks like, with 215/40/17 RT-615s.

God damn I wish I hadn't sold this car.

That is for 16" wheels sonny boy. The first number denotes the tread patch width, 2nd number is the height of the tire in aspect to the width, and the 3rd is the wheel size.

215's (215/40-17) will be pretty square on your 7.5 wide wheels. For a little bit of stretch you would want 205's (205/40-17). Or even 195's, do they make those? lol

also, if i was going for some tire stretch, would going with 215/40/17 be alright? or would a 215/40/16 be okay? im not looking for a huge stretch, just a little.

15mm front, 20mm rear would fit nicely (not poked/stretched). you could do 20mm front 25mm back though if you like your wheels way out.

that would obviously require some fender rolling correct? also should i be getting hubcentric spacers with longer lug nuts right?

yes fender rolling. for spacers that big, hub centric is a must.

Could I get some help por favor? I know I'm going to need spacers. I was thinking a 15mm would work right? What size tires do you guys recommend, I don't mind some stretching? And would I need to roll my fenders. I'm going for a bit of flush or even out. Help this nub.
