Re: Will 17x7 Rims Fit?
I think 7" is too skiny. What wheels are you in love with?

alright bad experience with skinny tires..
i had 19's on my car that were skinnier than the stock and lets just say i slid into a tree because my rear tires lost traction if anything go wider.. just my litttle 2 cents |

Re: Will 17x7 Rims Fit?
I have 5 zigen 17 by 7.5 and they are fine no sliding here feels the same. I also have 225-45-17 tires on them and i love them ddont listen to these people saying it is too skinning. The base stealth had 6 inch wide tires. If you are a NA 7 inch wide is fine.

Re: Will 17x7 Rims Fit?
The base stealth also has 161hp...not exactly the ideal 3/S to model after. Wider is better. If looks are more important then traction, then go with them. But I personally agree with everyone else.
