2nd GEN wheel GURUS
Got some nice 17x7 with 42offset and 2.5 polished lip. but needed to know you input. 215-40 front and 225-45 back ok.
After doing some seraching with now one responding, i cam across some interesting info.
Few individual say go with 215-45 all the way around
so im guessing 215-45 is the best solution for the front. for the rear i can put 225-45 and clear everyting correct?
I would really like to go even bigger in the rear but i guess cause its 17x7 bigger tires wont fit on 7 inch wheel.
if im wrong or you have better info or solution let me know. thanks
not sure cause that info I found from folks who had a 40" offset and iI will have havea 42" which brings the wheel in closer . not sure if that will able me to put bigger tires on or not

yea I have checked those threads but nothing really gave me answer I was looking for. seeing that most of those threads were talking about offset of 40.
I just alwasy want to double check.
some 245 would be nice on the back but I guess i need to relize thats not happening.
thanks again.
I will go 215 front and 225 in the back.

yea that's what i was thinking. it's all in the design. i have 18x8+30 and barely have a 1" legit lip.
i'm looking for a second set of lippy wheels. i don't want to curb rash or bend my 18's. finding a replacement will be almost impossible.
