Another tire rim question for Gramlights!

[Sanchi]

:hs: alright anyone know if my 17x8.5 30offset with 215-40-17 (or should i go with 225 instead) will fit on s14 with out rolling fenders!! rolling is a LAST resort for me so, My rims should be comeing in in about a week or 2 and i need to make sure my tires fit haha :doh:

[TheTimanator]

Why is rolling a last resort? Doesn't effect how things look...It's rolling the inner lip flat. You can get it done for like $30 a fender give or take. Either way I doubt you would need it with those sizes...

[s14srpilot]

I have 2 Gram Lights 57 pro wheels for sale 18x9 +25. No rolling required! pm me if you're interested

[TheTimanator]

BTW....you should have asked this BEFORE you ordered. :nono:

As far as tires...if your not sure. Buy the smaller size and then see if you got the room. If you have the room (and want to do it) go slightly wider next time you need tires..

[Sanchi]

well lets put it this way. If i had asked first i would of got the same info i just recieved... and as you can tell wasent anything i had'nt already though of..

Rolling requires extra work and money. and im a lazy basterd, i know 17x8.5 22 offset with 215 fit perfect just not sure if the fenders were rolled on that car :doh: well since my offset is 30 im wondering if thats gona need some changeing! guess we will find out huh!! :jerkit:

I rolled each of my rear fenders in 10 seconds

im running a 17x8 with a +35 offset with 235/45's up front right now. moving to a +25 up front tho cuz coilovers are going in. you will be more than fine

Congrats you must be real proud!!! :hsdance:
I'm sure i can't imitate your success.

Thanks Structure240sx!! I'm like 99% sure it would fit i just have to make sure. My buddy baught some17x7.5 with 215 tires and they fit "sunken in" perfect!! mines should be FINE!! But thankx, with that info i might go with 225 even!! WOOT!

[papershot]

why only 215/40? seems like a large gap compared to 45 on a 17.

[Sanchi]

Well were not talking about stock hight here. but thanks for the words of advice!! didnt think about that as much!! :doh:

[orion::S14]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD...DO NOT run a 215/40-17 on a 17X8.5

What the hell...

Stockish sizes will be:

225/45-17
245/40-17

I'd run the 225 on that setup if ou want a tight fit, almost stretched.

245 is the proper fit, but may add clearance problems.

215/40 will look fucking retarded. So small...and skinny.

FYI...

[Sanchi]

WOW thanks for the info...

[AAA240SX]

skinny tires suck, we want beef we want beef we want beef we want beef...

[zenki03]

i just put gram light 57s on my 95 and im running 17x8.5 in the rear with 235/45s and mine fit. i would reccomend running a smaller series than me though...like 235/40.

sorry to revive this thread but my question falls along these lines.

I've got the 57s 17x8.5 with +30 all around. Yokohama 225.45.17 AVS ES100s all around. Anyone know if this setup will clear coilovers?

Thanks,
Chris

i think you need to be in the mid +20 range. i have 18x9.5 with +12 and it is right up on the coilover. about 1/16 between rim-coilover spring perch. i'm using 225/40/18.

[Kreukishot]

=\...im guessing i'll prob need to get spacers for the front when i get coils =(
If anyone else has input it'd be appreciated...

Thanks,
Chris
