Rim size questions

[three]

What Size, width, and offset should I choose with 2 inch drop in front and 1.5 inch drop in rear? Srry if its already been posted, i just couldnt find it on my own. Thanks in advance.

I'd say 17x7.5 rim with a 45offset and 215 tires.

I'd say never get a 215 tire because one doesn't exist that is the same diameter as stock. Stick with 205/50 or go up to 225/45

I'd also say that a 7.5 inch wide wheel is too wide for a 215 tire, anyway.

I'd also say that if you put a 45 offset wheel on a car with a 1.5 inch drop, you'll never be able to pull the rear camber back into spec without the tires rubbing.

Finally, I'd say that you didn't search very hard and you should check out these theads, all posted within the past two weeks:

Yeah, sorry. Thanks, tsunami.

It's late and I have 215 on the brain. This thread and another where I'm trying to set up a local guy with tires for his Protege.

Bah... I'm going to bed.
