We need a whole lot more information to help you out. Fill in the blanks: My car is a: Wheel Diameter:17 Width:8.5 Offset: Tire size:

C CnoTataymo : 13 MX-5 Feb 18, 2009 #3 I believe someone with a BM ran 17x8.5 +48 or +45 offset Rota Slipstreams with 235/45 tires.

I've also seen 17x9 with a 245/40. All depends on offset and how much work he wants to do to the car to make it work.
