Well, I finally decided on rims....I'm gonna get Eagle Alloy's style 077, they are 17x8 with a + 38 offset, I am also gonna get the Kuhmo 712's, but I cant decide if I should get 225/45/17 or 235/45/17 ???? Any suggestions ??
BTW, I also got a new suspension, ST Springs and KYB Srtuts

I would think that the 225/45/17 would keep you closer to your orginal speedometer settings but I would probably still get the 235/45/17 if I was in your position.

good choice..

That is what SkyMax has.
About the tires.....
I'd go with the 235/45/17... the 1st # represents the width, 2nd, the sidewall height, 3rd the diameter.. I do not think they will throw the speedo off because they are wider.. People with 7" wide rims usually use 225s.. Like 2k Max, 225 is stock on it and the rim is 7" wide..

Good choice. I wanna see pics!

I should be getting them soon, as soon as I can free up room on my credit card...I'll get pics up when its all done !! And i'm gonna go with the 235's, does anyone know why the 235's are a dollar cheaper than the 225's ?? I dont really care it just seemed weird !!!

they are cheaper because the 225's are a more popular tire. since more 225's are sold they jack up the price. even tho it's only a buck but that is the main reason.

Also, let us know if you have any rubbing problems when you get the ST springs. Thanks
