wheels/tires question
 

Hello,

So I have searched on the forums, I've read and pondered...now I just need some clarity because there are so many opinions out there. Thanks.

Right now I have a set of rims but I am in the process of buying new rims. NOW...question here is will my tires (205/40/17) fit on allllll 17 inch rims? Someone said there can be differences...I just need some clarity.

Also, I have also purchased a full coilover suspension and will be lowering my car, is between 40 and 42 a good offset when choosing new rims???

Thanks, I just need some clarity is all...

Check here for your tire combo.

your tires will fit on most 17" rims
from 6.5" to 7.5" wide for sure, you might be able to squeeze them on to a 6" wide rim

most 17s that are a 4 bolt pattern will be 17x7 anyways though

Thanks For the link DoubleB and Hdave, you're right I just checked that tire link..I was just worried cause I wanna use the same tires...

I really dont understand that offset calculator though...I just really would like to know what a good offset would be. I guess my issue is rubbing...and Im going to be lowering anywhere from 1.75-2 inch....any helpful suggestions?
