Who's rocking 17's?

chachacha28 · 04-22-2011, 08:57 AM

Im thinking about upgrading (downgrading?) to 17's. What brands are you using? How wide are your front tires? How much do they weigh? How is your ground clearance? I like to keep my car pretty low. Pics?

Thanks!

Once my stock RFT tires wear completely, I'm going to buy new wheels and tires for the summer and put snows on the stock wheels for the winter. I'm thinking about rocking a 17x8.5 square setup with 245 tires, maybe APEX arc-8 or an OZ wheel. I'm aiming for 16 lbs per wheel, and 20 lbs per tire... should save about 50 lbs total of unsprung weight.

i'll sell you my 207m's with (near new) RFT's once my VMR's arrive and are fitted up... you'll have to pay shipping from australia though :P
