wheel questions..last time
 
so heres the bottom line..on the P5..If i want 17 inch rims
can i get 40mm--42 mm offset? or do i need 45-50 mm?


what tire size?
205/40 17 or 215/45 17?

i dont intend on lowering..at least not for a long time
and theres never anybody in the back
well not very often

45+ offset and 205/40 17 will be fine.

But wait until Rishie or someone comfirms this.

For the final time:

If you have a 7" width wheel, diameter does not matter, and it has a +42 mm offset, minimum, you will need to run a 205/45/17.
The 205/40/17 is too short of a tire and will result in additional mileage on the odometer.

If it's 7" and has a +44 or +45 and higher, you can run the ideal tire size of 215/40/17.

Now if you have a 7.5" wheel, you can run a 215/40 if it is a +48 or higher. If not, then you'll need to use a 205/45.


That's all folks.

Rishie

happy New year
