i think you have more to worry about in terms of off set, and use very low profile tires. your speedo well also be incorrect.

move to proper tread

i never said i didnt believe you dip ****, so cool your *** down. all i said was that i had never heard of 35 series tires for 17 inch wheels. i have even asked my friend about the possibility of using 35 series tires and his company (Kauffman Tire) either doesnt carry them, or he has honestly never heard of them either.

so in short, dont jump my **** bro. i was askin' a ******' question...

i seriously think that 18's are a bit much my friend... I have 17's and from what I hear and have seen, 17's are big enough. And remember, the larger the wheel, and the skinnier the tire... the easier is it to hit a curb and **** YOUR ****... Peace

Wow, I didn't know they went that far with the "low-profile." What is the ride quality like, I wonder, with something like a 215/35-YR19 (I know the guy was asking about 18s)? You do want some air underneath you.
