Jestr71,

I have these wheels, with a 215/40-17, in silver. THese wheels are sick and are only 15 lbs, 45mm offset.

good choice.

hey mojambo,what color is your ra?why did you go for the 215/40/17? would a 215/45/17 fit from what you can see on yours without rubbing? thanks

hey neal.........i was asking his opinion on what size would look better with that wheel on the car.im not sure though now that someday i may lower a little bit,so maybe i should go 215/40/17? also i cannot access your website..do you carry this wheel? thanks

they fit exactly, I went to a 215/40-17 cause the size was closer to stock than the 45, I've heard that the 45's will rub if you lower the car and or have a big fat chick in the back seat. With a 45 offset as the OZ superleggera comes in, a 45 wil fit with no issues, but the overall diameter is a tad bigger. Its a toss up. I wanted less sidewall flex and the price was impossible to beat.

how much closer is the wheel to the fender?i was hoping it would push it out a bit with the 215/40/17.i do not like the way the stock setup looks,too far in.and what color is your ralli?why did you not go with the grey rim?

mojambo

I got a great deal on the silver rim,

If you find that the wheel is in too far, you can get a 3 mm spacer that will make the 45mm offset of the OZ wheel over to 42mm, this will make the wheels come out of the fender wells, the tire size does not have anything to do with how deep or how far out the wheel is. This is what the offset is for

ok.that is helpful.i still cannot decide grey or silver?which will match my silver better?

mojambo

iTrader: (3)

if you can get grey, I would go with that; Silver matches too much. go get em

ok last question,is the only difference between a 215/45/17 and a 215/40/17 the height of the tire ?

mojambo

iTrader: (3)

exactly, 45 has a taller sidewall than 40.
