Just to be sure... I don't know much about rims, so i don't know if in 2003 they might have made it a bit wider, or if it's still 7.0....

I'm looking to possibly purchase 235/45/17 inch tires...

from what i'm reading, the oem rim should technically be able to take these tires... although not entirely recommended, it should be fine...

Thanks guys

 

it'll fit and this is correct to go 45 when you put wider tires (235) or it will rub on wheel well

 

it is 7.0" and you've done your reaserch on the recomendation for going 235...you should handle better with 225 due to hte sidewall not being pitched in like a 235 will.

 

It won't be pintched in enough to affect handling and that's exactly why you go 45 onstead of 50

 

HAHAHA thanks soonerfan... I only today realized my bad spelling... lol

I was... uhm..... trying to be cute.... yeah....... that's it... hehe

OK... so I'll take a look at the 235's.... Should look pretty sweet :-)

Thanks guys!

 

i have OEM 17x7's with 245/45's... Nice-N-Wide... I like 'em

 

Anybody know how much the 2002-2003 stock SE rims weigh?

 

Yea good question I'd like to know that one also

 

About 24 lbs.

 

Wow that's heavy.

 

IIRC its around 23.5 lbs, could be wrong though

 

i miss my 99' gtp with it 14lb stockers...


since where asking...whats the offset for hte stockers?

thanks

 

Page 9-9 of your owners manual. +45mm for the SE 17s.

 

i'm running 235/45/17's. no problem.

 

no ****....i feel like a ***

thanks

 

well i bought a set of yokohama advan sports... holy **** they grip nicely...
and on water they hold ground extremely well...
went with 235/45... sweet size!

 

This is OT but in any case, I don't really think our cars justify such high performance tires like advans
