hey guys i was thinking about buying some rims for my 97 max, i want 17's. dont really want to spend a lot of money. i also want something that wont rub at all. and i also will need tires. pics and links would be awsome.

thanks

 

you need to be a bit more specific:

looks: sporty, "bling"...what?
color: which?
weight: does it matter?
cost: how much do you have to spend?
tires: all-season, summer, what?

If it was ME, I'd be looking for a 17x8" rim with an offset 35 or 38mm, in a 6-8 spoke design, around 17lbs in a standard silver or gunmetal with no polished lip. All-season tire in 235/45/17 for that size rim, probably Toyo Proxes4. Whole setup around $1200.

look in the members rides section here for pics of peoples cars with different wheels.

 

Go with something 17" from Enkei, SSR, etc....

 

sporty, rather light weight (not too heavy) all season tires, $$ wise i just want a general idea, under 600, 700 would be nice. also are 5.5 gen mags a direct bolt to my 4th gen, i mean without spacers, or adapters... and hows the clearance.

 

also how much will the 17 trow off my speedo

 

It's not the diameter of the wheel so much as the diameter of the wheel and tire together (rolling diameter) that can throw off the spedo. It's why you need a lower profile tire with larger rims.

As far as rims go, you really have to pick them out for yourself. You'd be better off asking for good sites to go to and what their service/selection/prices are like. For tires, check out the stickies (I think there's a "best all-season tire" thread). Good luck-
