Ideally, I'd want 215/40-17 or 225/40-17 tires. I wouldn't get 18" wheels and tires, since you're either getting super-thin sidewalls, or you're throwing the gearing off. Joined May 12, 2003 · 317 Posts

RichGT said: what about the height? wouldnt it be high? k, wheels went on and yeah the car as a whole is a bit higher. the wheel gap however doesnt seem to have changed, the thing that you notice are the sideskirts being higher i'm still on stock suspension btw here's a few pics .

the tires and rims make the car look 10x better. i havent had a chance to test the rubbing or handling yet, still have take her to a body shop and get front end fixed. but as for appearance, it gets a :thumbup:. and yeah it does look like its pushed in a very very little bit.

is there a difference in the fender gap between I just purchased some rims and im still undecided if should go with a 40 or 45 profile. Any pics of both these tire sizes on a celi? Our chart shows the overall section width, the outside diameter, the sidewall height and the recommended rim width range. If your car requires something unique, start with picking the tire for the end of the car that is the most difficult. If you’ve mini-tubbed the rear for example, and are going to run a big tire with less brand/tread/size choices, start by figuring out that size and what your options are. Then see if the those tire manufacturers also make a matching tire for your front. We’ve included the sidewall height of the tire as a quick way to make sure your front tire doesn’t have a taller sidewall than your rear tire when doing staggered sizes. That’s usually not a good look. There is a recommended rim width range for any given tire size with the ideal width usually around the middle of that spread. Some things to consider are how much sidewall bulge you want to see and most importantly, how wheel width affects the tires ride, handling and wear characteristics. For grip and even wear the wheel width needs to allow for a good contact patch where the tread meets the pavement. A wider wheel tends to make the tire more responsive to steering inputs but also taken to extremes can make the ride harsh because the sidewall doesn’t flex as easily. A narrower wheel can give up some of that responsive handling and will tend to give a softer ride because the sidewall has more curve that flexes more easily. What size tire can I put on a 17Tire Sizes by Wheel Diameter. What is the advantage of 17The Quick Answer
Larger 17″ alloy wheels will have give the car sportier handling by improving cornering and stability compared to 16″ wheels.
Do 18 inch tires ride better than 17It comes down to more subjective measures, apparently. The smaller 17-inch tires represent the most comfortable ride thanks to the larger sidewall. The 18-inch tires create a bit more road noise, and this is further exacerbated when the car jumps up to the 19-inch wheels and tires.
