Want to get new rims this summer...

[JScharF]

Ok, I have the extemely stupid looking ones on now... but I found these, cheap and look amazing... just what I was looking for...

My car has 205/55/16 tires on it right now, we just bought them too ... but anyway, i can barely fit my hand behind the inside of the tire before it hits the suspension, so what size tire would I need for those in order to keep it the same size? I dont want to go any smaller but any bigger and they would rub. The new tires we put on were the same size but were actually a little bit narrower (which is a good thing because there were times when my tires would rub anyway).

Thanks in advance!

Some info on your car would be nice (make model year ect.) On my talon i was running a 245/45/18 with no issues.

I had some ENKEI RS6 rims with some 245/45/17. The rims actually look almost identical to the ones you want to buy. I'm selling mine if you're interested. I don't know how cheap is cheap, but mine are going for $600. Need new tires. Includes lugs and lug tool. Not in perfect shape, but still looks good.

EDIT: Actually mine are 6 spoke though.

The 5 spoke rims you posted in that link are nice as hell. Is the car lowered at all? Are you even driving a DSM? You should be able to go as high as 18's with low profile tires without a problem even with a dropped car safely without rubbing.

Not plural my friend, there is only one.

DSM is what you own and drive. David gave the name for the acronym.

Thanks but no thanks, maybe if the tires were still there, but im not a fan of universal holes like those have (even if they're not universal i just want my 5 holes.. plus the other ones new are 450-500 ish new

Tires are still there. Just chopped, bald, and slightly tearing on the side. Z-rated though. They still roll. Just not in the best shape.

What size are those david? Do you happen to know the offset?

245/45/17
Not sure what the offset is. They fit the Talon, 3kgt... so whatever that is....
They're bad ass wheels. I love them, just not interested in them anymore. Light as hell also. The girl I bought them off of paid $1400 for the whole tire and wheel package.

Yeah they look nice but I can't afford the 600+ tires part, i cant really afford the ones i want for another month or two yet.. I live in a small town, pretty hard to find anything for the summer over 7 dollars an hour
