bolt pattern is 5x114.3. 17x8 should work for you. I believe thats a stock size on an SL anyways. Tires...go with 245-45R17. If you have the car lowered or plan to do so, you could go with a 40-series and it will look good. Speed rating, i would suggest "V" or better

as for specific wheels/tires...go to tirerack.com for the rubber, and look on the 3si.org forum in the wheels section for wheel ideas.

What do you gotta do in return? Wear their company name on your car?

[quackmandude]

pretty much, and attend 3 shows

what offset do i get??????? what is offset????

[AutostradaVR4]

the offset is how far from the center of the wheel the mounting surface is, in millimeters (mm). If its towards the outside of the wheel (like stock 3/s's), its a positive offset. If its towards the inside of the wheel (like on some RWD "muscle cars"), its a negative offset. If its right in the center of the wheel (like some 4wd vehicles), the offset is 0.

im pretty sure your gonna want +35 to +45...you can go as low as +25 , thats what mine are, but thats why they stick out a little bit.

I would say he could go with 250/45 or 255/45. I have 245/45 on my TT and the sidewall isn't quite flat. You could get away with a slightly wider tire. Only thing is that I think from a 245 to a 255 there is quite a price jump.

he's only gonna have 8in wheels...doesnt your tt have 8.5in wheels though?
