So could 17x8.25 +25mm work on stock suspension or would it be wiser to go +35, than say a month later lower it on 1.5inch springs? I am just trying to have the wheel and tire flush with the outside of the wheelwells. I know like some one said it would make my car look like a monster truck but that was when I was thinking 17x8.75.. if i did 8.25 dropped it 1.5 inch if I would have to fender roll? I am just trying to get my numbers accurate so I know what I would have to do after I get the things on.
No hate, just looking for a little help I am not well with wheels and tires.

235/40 or 225/40 would be good tire size. |

I want enough tire to also fill my wheel well as much as I can and enough that even with only 1.5 drop it will fill as much as it can, I doubt Ill ever go lower..

So I've been reading a lot throughout this thread, and I don't think I have come across any 02-07 wagons with a 17x8.25 +25, but plenty of +35. I have seen for a fact that the +35 will fit well. The +25 would just require more camber to fit it in the wheel well?
Just curious, as I am trying to figure out my next setup. Looking at some 17x8.25 530's in gold, or I'm going to do something in 17x9. |

This will be perfect. 235's will fit the wheel great. You will be happy.

Should have left the 235/45's on. 20mm less treadwidth and 38mm less tire diameter. That is a lot to me but some pictures of the 215/40 tires would show the real difference. Nice wheels. They look good in Chromium Black on the two tone Silver.

OBS: 235s look good. I've got 235s on my setup and it sort of ties everything together.

I just ordered 235/40/17 but I am wondering if I should have ordered 45s.. looking at my current size 215/45/17 the wheel gap is huge.. but on my buds car he has BBS 235/40/17 and they are thick.. so Iam really confused.. I plan on lowering it 1.5 inch in a month or so, but if I get my 17x8.25 on 235/40/17 aren't I going to have even worse of a gap than my 45s now on stock wheels?

For some reason they look out of place. I cant quite describe it. Love the car and I love the wheels, but they look strange together.
Must be the angle. Post more I want some 531s, 17x9. Hopefully I can order some before I move to Hawaii |

I ordered new tires in the summer (before I knew anything about fitment), and I order 225/45 on xxr 527s 18x8.75 +35.. I order too tall of a tire, and wanted more of a width. The car is actually loww on Coilovers now and wish I actually order the right size, which was 235/40 or 225/40.. Keep the height 40.. 45 is too tall dude

This is how im set up now, and why I was so curious about the 45s to fit the gaps better
http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2499444 I also ran into a tire problem today when ordering my 527s. The one tire I wanted was discontinued so they had 2 others in 235/40/17 both which sucked. Which is why I am haulted in buying tires now trying to find cheaper ones (under 600) which were as good as the ones I wanted. I did find a few good tires under 225/45/17..
