Comment: 2K3 Wheels on a 99

Just bought these from QMax03, damn I love them...I don't think my ride was ever this smooth...no rattle no bumps sweet drive...outside if looks the practicality is awesome...and now I think I might actually be able to drop...just wanted to share!

Good ****. I have a set of 2000 17" SE rims. I'm trying to figure out what tires to mount to them. OEM= 225/50/17 or 235/45/17.

What did you go with?

I have the 2k2/2k3 SE wheels also, I went with 235.45.17 as this is the best size match to stock. I've never had problems with this setup even though some people may suggest 235's are a tad too wide for the width of the stock 2k2 wheels.

That is actually what i'm going for with the wider tire (still havent purchased tires yet). Isnt it more of an "aggressive" look?

BTW I have a set of 2000 17" SE wheels.

wider does give a more aggressive look, but don't go too wide. 235 is plenty

Yup, 235 is more than enough. I would have went with 225 if it meant i could match it up to a factory size, but in order for the speedo to be the most accurate, 235/45 is the size to get when putting 00-03 SE wheels on your 4 th gen.

OEM size is 225/50, but many run 235/45 on the OEM wheels.
