Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Wheels & Tires Any of you guys with Tropic Green CSVTs running...

No doubt about the quality, man.

Sometimes, sacrifices have to be made, though. Heh.

This is "ryanblacksvt" on svtperf's car:

I think they look pretty good. Just not in that color on my car... Heh.

I read through the stickies at the top, and in one thread I read this:

"I've figured it out finally.

17X7 will rub with 215's unless your offset is 42mm or greater. Don't try 215/40, that's stupid. 215/45 is min.

17X7.5 will rub if you're 225/45's, BUT WON't with 235/40's, nor with 215/45's with ANY offset (since the extra .5inches stretches the tire out)."

As you can see, with the 7.5" section, it says "ANY offset." Is this really true? Can I not fit 225/45-17s on a 17x7.5" rim with a +40mm offset without rubbing or will I have to go with either a 215/45-17 or 235/40-17 and deal with my speedo being off?

Are any of you guys running 17x7.5s? If so, what size tire are you running?

Excel rims by far look better! Make sure you get an 18inch rim.

I feel like such a woman...

I have changed my mind once again. I found an excellent looking 17x7.5" wheel that I am going to use.

New wheels that I will eventually get:
