Once I get these new wheels and tyres I will have a set of standard rims with TOYO TEO 235/45/17 tyres on them FOR SALE. If any one is interested. Still good tread on them too, just starting to scuff a little on the front tyres so ive just rotated them to the rear.Watch the FOR SALE add.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you have told them you have "wider wheels"...I run a 20x10 rear and 20x8.5 front...I would say 19x8.5 is fine, as your standard wheels are 17x8... And you could have gotten 18x8 as optionals when bought new...If I get pulled over by the cops, I just say I have 20x8 front and 20x9 rears... And that it came out with 18x8... And that you can go 2 inches bigger in diameter.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its time to get wheel and tyre package prices.Can any one confirm that this size wheel and tyre combo 18 x 8 and 245/40/18 will fit ok on my ride, it has kings ssl springs on the rear and kings sl's on the front. I think the new rolling diameter is slightly more than the standard 235/45/17 and I dont want them to rub on the guards. I'm sure there are cars out there that are running this size wheel n tyres on those springs. If they are a bit big maybe I'll have to go for the 245/35/18 instead.Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
