Default Best rims and tire setup

Well, I want to get rid of my chrome rims. I want a meaner look. So, I was thinking about getting this setup:


http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.c...g_1901_4901874


Black Deep Dish FR500 Wheels (17x10.5) in the REAR

and

Black FR500 Wheel (17x9) in the FRONT


I have 245/45R17 tires right now.

What do you guys think?

Yeah that would look sick but tires would be too expensive for me.

I think I'll jus stick with 17s unless I find a good price on 18" tires.

I totally agree on the 17s and the rim sizes. With 275/40/17s up front and 315/35/17s on the rear, your wheel circumferance will be the same as the stock wheel, so your speedo with be correct.

Get the fr500's in 17's man, it'll look really good on your color. I think with mineral gray, the black rims look much better than chrome.

18's all the way, sure the tires cost more than the rims but they make 17's look itsy bitsy.

If you never plan on taking your car to the track, get 18's. But if your car is going to the track on the weekends, the 17's are a much better fit.
