what size wheels/tires

Steves LX · January 23rd, 2007, 01:04 PM

I have a 89 lx that is sitting on blocks right now. I need to get wheels and tires and I want to stay as close to the factory height as possible. I have oem variable rate springs on it right now and I am primarily using this as a daily driver (street).
I have a 5 lug conversion kit on here. I have been considering either going with a 15x7 or a 16x7. What I dont know is the tire size to get for either on of those wheel sizes and the proper back spacing so my wheels and tires aren't hanging out of the fenderwell or so they aren't in to deep to where it compromises my steering

o with a 17x9.5 with 245/45 ZR17 tires
I recomend the Nitto NT 555 tire
If you want to keep it stock then you will have to know the amount of backspacing that you will need for the 5 lug conversion ,if it isn't differnet.
it should be around 24 to 27mm or something like that
