i could not get an answer in the wheels section so here it is...

i have the eom 17s with 225/50 and an getting 17X7.5 (45 offset) rims, i see most people use 235/45/17 tires with that size rim. i wanted to know, will it be ok to use 245/45 or is that too wide? there is much more of a selection of tires in that size and according to the size calculator is only off by 0.7% instead of 2.1% like 235/45.

also what is the offset on the stock 6 spoke 17s? ive been told 35, 40 and 45, which one is it, if anyone knows for sure? thanx!!

 

I have 245/45/17 Kumho's on my stock wheels

 

I'm running 245/45's on 17x7.5 rims with a 42 offset. Stock is 45. You'll be fine and in spec.

 

a 245 on a 7.5" wheel is "in spec" but you will lose some handling (as I did with 235 on my 7" wheels)....hell, I'm running 235s on my 18x8's

 

You should run 235s but you can run 245s if you want.

ye, id rather go with 235/45 but it seems that 245/45 is a better fit % wise, will it make a diff that im losing a few mm in hieght if i run 235?

 

you can always go w/ OEM size
