Tire and Wheel fitment Q&A

tangsuto · 10-27-2009, 07:50 PM

I posted in this thread before asking what size wheels and tires to buy. Now I have a different but very related question to ask you guys. I am looking at getting 17x8 wheels all around and I have been searching online for what wheels to buy (brand and design and color) that is of good performance and durability. In essence, best bang for your buck.

I have been looking for more conservative styles like alone the lines of 5-star in like a dark gray or gunmetal.

Any suggestions as to what brands and where to shop for them?

I'm running 225/18/40 in the front and 255/18/40 in the rear with no rubbing. Any rubbing will depend on your offset. Ill post some pics this evening as I think my set up looks good

I do get a bit of over steering though which I don't like. Does anyone know why that is? I hear it's due to the extra meat on the rear from staggering the wheels.

Rubbing is dependent on: offset, camber, ride height, suspension travel and tire width.
