I'm running 17x8 on all fours with 225/45r17s. The front wheels hit the A-arm on tight, on the stop, turns. 17x7s should be just fine for the fronts.

i just talked to a guy at the co. thats selling the wheels i want, and he said with their package deals they offer a 205-40-17 on a 7" wide rim for the front,
and 215-35-18 on 7.5 " wide for the rear,

does that sound good?

im trying to make a decision and i just wanna get what would be best but at the same tme i dont know whats best

the rims are Enkei RS-6 and its $1099 shipped with tires included

Sounds good to me. Go for it. That is a good price also. Mine were close to $1300 for Wheels and rubber.

1044 i paid today for 18's with pirelli p7000's, mounted, blanced and shipped. Also includes the lock lugs and wrench. 225/40's should fit for me

Im suprised that 8 inch wide wheels fit at all! I thought that i might have trouble with my 7.5's glad to hear otherwise!

I think your getting a pretty good deal considering that your getting Enkei's.

first off do some research !!! find pics of who's car you like, the way it sets and the way the rubber looks on the tire and ask for their sizes.

go to some tire websites and do some research there for widths and side wall heights.. the more research you do the better off you will be.. nothing like taking someone else idea for the right tire and spanking down some MAJOR cash for some that you think looks like sh*t when you pull them out of the box..

I like the old school tire look with bigger rubber on the back than the front. others like that rubber band look all the way around (not saying that's wrong) just a different look.. so figure out what you want and post some pics of that car and get the look YOU WANT !! 205/40/17's are small,i'm running a 215/45/17 in the front and 245/45/17 rears, i wouldn't want to go smaller than that but it's your car... RESEARCH it !!

Hell I dont know whats with all these v8 people with skinny little tires ... I mean if you wanna put that power on the ground go wide ... with a 7.5" wide rear rim 245 would probably be the max width on a tire ... if you can get an 8" wide rim that would be great, make sure enkei actually makes that model in 5x100 in that size, cause of times they won't make anything that wide for a 5x100 ... my 255-40r17's look nice, and fit great on an 8" wide rim.

Personally, I would look for some wider rims myself ... On both of my fieros I'm running 17x8 rear rims w/ 255-40-17's rear

Anyways if you can only get the skinny rims here is what I'd recomend for some nice cost effective tires ...

Front ... Yokohama AVS es100 215/45ZR17
Rear ... Yokohama AVS es100 245/40ZR18

If you manage to get what you want with the 8" wide rims ... go with ...

Front ... 225/45ZR17
Rear ... 255/35ZR18
