wheel/tire question

[GTluver]

i need help right away pls........gotta make a decision by tomorrow.......heres the question

Will a 235/40WR/17 fit in a 17x7 wheel? without any mod to suspension or rubbing? thnx......

[GTluver]

also.....are Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712 tires good? sticky? wet/dry/all season tire? cuz that one looks awesome but dunno if it holds up to its beautiful looks......

Answers to your questions are all yes, except for the 712's being good "all season" tires.....that just ain't gonna happen. They do extremely well in dry and wet conditions though. If your car is a GT, the tire with the closest aspect ratio to the 225/50-16 OE tires would be a 225/45-17. Next up would be 235/45-17. The 235/40 is going to make your speedo read faster than you are actually going. They will fit no problem though....hope this helps.

thanx for the info......as for the tires being all-season, that dont really matter, cuz my car hybernates during the winter season.....as long as they are good in dry/wet condition, ill b a happy camper ......thnx again....:cheers: ill put up a pic of them when they arrived ( i just ordered them 10 min ago from www.bigwheels.net )

I just went to Bigwheels.com....it told me that my bolt pattern for a 99 GA is 5x100. It's not....our bolt pattern is 5x115. I hope you didnt order the wrong bolt pattern....site is screwed up!

[GTluver]

so the 5x100 wont fit my car??? and no i havent order yet........well i did but they still need to call me cuz i chose the pay-by-phone option........Gawd, if u are up there listening......make this wheel fit my car.....the ONLY wheel i like/want from all out on the market.......

Just go on the site and do a rim search by size.. put in 5x115 and see what comes up

This is what you need for the Tenzo Passion-5

17x7 or 18x7.5
PCDmm (blt pattern) = 100/114.3
Holes = 10 hole pattern
Offset mm = 42mm

I don't know if that is a compliment or a cut down :confused:

GTLuver. He is probably saying that because of the sidewall, he knows it would throw off your speedo (you'll be off by about 1.1MPH..60 on speedo will have you physically doing 58.9). For sure a 235 will seat on a 7.5 rim

My boy is running a 235/45/17 and even test fit a 245/40/18 and it fit....(he works at Bell Tire)

:thumbs:

OK, thanxs :D

I don't know everything, especially with cars (I like wheels though) but I wouldn't consider myself average either. I'll show you transcripts if evidence is needed lol

[GTluver]

transcrips lol .......anywayz......one more questions guys.....if i go w/ this tire/wheel size......(235/40/wr17 on 17x7.5) will the tires be sticking out? i dont like it when tires stick out of a car.........specially when u see them on trucks etc..........ewwwww......

[AMRAAM4]

depends on offset. You want an offset that is between approximately +38mm and +42...outside that you are pressing your like IMO

[GTluver]

u mean offset of the wheel right? hmm......

[AMRAAM4]

yes
