I'm getting new rims and tires the place Im going have a deal $799 for 17 rims & tires, $899 for 18 rims and tires.
what should I get ? I`m thinking 17 w/ 245-50-17 tire. souldnt loose too much ride comfort.

if I was to get 18`s the tire would have to be 245-45-18.
45% JUST sounds bad to me

can you send me a link to where you are getting those wheels? i went to dubempire but it's hard to find where the mark viii wheels are. your 17 inch deal with tires sounds like a really good deal.

I do like color coded wheels though. On a Mark black rims look hot.

on the dubempire website, every wheel listed is "FWD" - i don't see how to find wheels that fit on larger cars :( do i have to look at truck wheels?
