17x7.5 wheels?

[jmye1524]

Ya know it's not the rim, size it's the tire size. I'll bet you can get real close to the OD of the tires I'm running on 15" rims in a 17" low pro design. ( which is 22.5") The problem you'll probably run into tho is width. I'd run 17's with 1.5" of rubber all the way around..... because I like the look.( As long as it's lowered)

Found these......215/35/17 - 22.9" Overall Diameter; 2.2" SideWall

Not a huge fan of the 17's on a festy, but they are right about the overall diameter...
If you can find a tire that meet the o.d., I don't see why you couldn't do it...

Yeah I know what you mean I like the low profile look

Yeah that was what i was getting at, i dont like big chunky tyres.

I have got 17x7's +40 offset with 205 30 tyres on my 1996 WB. They fit ok at the front. Had to get 8mm spacers for the back because they were really close to the strut. Wouldnt want the front to be lowered as they fill out the guards pretty well but the back could cope with 30-50mm lower.
There is abit of guard rub if I go over a real big bumb, especially if im turning a corner

Probably why I would go with the 195/45/14's

i have had mx-3 gs 15s with 195/50s and the were tight to the fender in the front, no problems in the rear. then i got a set of stock 1stgn xb 15"steelies. there was no rub issue at all even lowered down the the bump stops. i now have 205/50s on the xb wheels, i had to roll both rear wells entirely. they still rub the bumper corner over big bumps.
