Default Great Wheel Deal

Sombody who isn't buying a new house has to take advantage of this deal so I can live vicariously through them.

Good deal... Since they have seventeen by seven and a heif, and I'd just paint 'em something..

But I'm broke too. Heh heh.

That is a good deal on light 17x7.5" wheels. They look a lot like my RP01s on the Stealth. Unfortuntely, they won't fit over STI Brembos or Stoptechs. Shipping is reasonable at just under $55.

I can't believe I'm the first to say it...GOOD FIND! Seriously though, this is a great deal on fairly light wheels. I think I can't pass this up, but the wife will kill me.

They've got some seriously killer deals right now. They're probably getting hammered.

Alright, the deal is still available and I think I can afford them. Since they have some great deals on tire packages, can anyone suggest what auto-x tire I should get mounted on them please?

Falken Azenis Rt615 or Hankook Z212 are the best choices.

Discount Tire has your size (225-45-17) for $106 for the Hankook

615s for Street Tire, V710s for R compound. Go read the Grassroots article from this thread...

Okay thanks. Some 225's could rub since I have a wagon. should I just pick a tire and then decide if I have to go 215 or 225 depending on how the specific tire is known to run (wide or narrow)?

The Falkens run large... a 225 has a 9.1" cross-section (equivalent to most 245 tires).

I used to run 225-45-17 Azenis 215's on my wagon and had no rubbing issues, even though as Scott said, they are a very large 225.

Since he didn't have any suspension components on that thing, I'm gonna guess "stock" camber.
