new to the internet?

try searching...

pretty much any tire place would have them. Just make sure they have a 4x114.3 pattern. And you'll probly be better off looking for 17" rims, 17' might not fit...

The best option for the 03-04 OZ Rally (at stock height down to Eibach level) is:

17x7 rims
4x114.3 lug pattern
40mm offset
215/45/17 tires

If you go any wider on the rims and they will rub.
If you go any thicker or wider tire size they will rub.
If you go any other offset they will most likely rub.
and finally...
If you go any lower profile tire size you will get that cheap-o "too much space around the wheel" look.

enjoy your new wheels, search better next time.

this has been discussed many times in a thousand threads...

with the 215/45 tire wont you need to get your speedo recalibrated? I thought the best match up was a 205/40 series tire...

yes, best size is a 215/40/17. That's what i'm running now and my car is dropped on TEIn Basics. No Rubbing at all and the gap between the fender and wheel is sweeeeeeeet.
I say 215 caue they're nice and wide w/ an aggressive look. 205, is too narrow, basically will look like the stock ones!

So is it 205/40/17, 215/40/17, or 215/45/17 tires on a 17X7 rim thats the best for the OZ?

And will everything need to be recalibrated?
