17" wheels

Do you have to recalibrate your sppedometer and odometer in order to go from 15" to 17"?

depends on the tires you get. i got some 17's on my oz and the wheel diameter/circumference was the same as the stock tires.

Great Deal

These are 1179 for a set of four with 205/40/17 Kumho Performance tires. Good deal for raiautosalon.com. With that size tire should my sppedom and odom be ok?

i have no idea i got mine for 1080 out the door..with instalation and balancing and all that good stuff.. i just asked the guy if the speedometer thing would change and he said, "nope. the wheels are the same size..these are the smallest 17" tires you can find"...but i think he meant at the store..but you might want to find the size of the lancer wheels then match them up with the size of the tires youre getting

For 17 inch tires get size 205/40/17
For 18 inch tires go with 215/35/18
AND for 16 inch (why?) 205/50/16

all these sizes have the exact same outer diameter size as stock!
according to WWW.TIRERACK.COM

personally I am looking to get a set of these FOCAL F10'S

Just trying to help out, the correct size for a 17 rim is 205 45 17, but i doubt the aspect ratio difference between a 40 series to a 45 series tire will make a huge difference.

Oz Formula One Rims

Do you think Oz formula one 17's would look bad?

What's the weight of those rims?
Judging by the pic they look like they might weigh quite a bit.. (My opinion.)
