1)I need advice from you guys what tires would be best for these rims?

First off, welcome and enjoy your stay :wink:

As for the rims, everything looks fine. But I'm not a wheel experct by any means. Maybe the other guys can give you a little more insight.

Help a Neb out guys :razz: I know there are wheel savy guys out there (SBC, Rookie, Speed, all my cats!)

Welcome! Those are nice! 17 x 7 with 40 offset will be just fine. I would recommend putting 215/45/17 tires on.

Do you have a tire in mind?? If not http://www.tirerack.com is a great place to learn. Be mindful of speed rating issues when picking out a tire. In all likelihood, you'll need a set of winter tires if you live in an area with snow.

Thanks Guys !

Well winter is no Concern as I live in GA,USA.

I went to a Sears tire shop today & they told me that 225/45 would be ok.

Any opinion ?

The 225 width tires will fit, but won't look good. The sidewalls will bubble out because the wheel widths are narrow.

Ya those are nice mags and welcome to the forum.If i was you i would try and put 17/225/45 tires on they will not woble if the sidewall is good.

Thanks Guys
Iam a little confused on Sidewall
thing ?

[SpectraBlueCam]

What I mean is that the sidewalls of a 225-wide tire may look pinched in by the 7&quot; rims. That's a cosmetic thing. However, there are performance differences as well.

225-wide tires will be better in corners while 215-wide tires will be better on launches.

I drive a 97' Camry V6 with 17X7 TRD/Revo wheels with 225X45X17 tires. I believe the 225X45X17 tire is the right fit for a 17X7 rim.

Hey guys,

If i go with 17x7.7 or 17x8, can i then put 225 tires and they'd look nice ? or should i still go with 215 with 7.5 or 8 width?

[Jzs147-RR]

The best way to go IMHO is 17/225/45 with a 17 7.5 so that you could even go to 235 is you realy want to.

If you have the TRD catalog or log on to TRDUSA and look for a Solara with TRD/Revo wheels with 225X45X17. They look perfect.
