im fairly new to upgrading my car i have a 2005 v6 mustang and would like to change the wheels first - nitto probably - but what size would be best 17" ? and I would like get wider drag looking wheels so i need some sizes so i can look up prices -- any help is appreciated

[Onemanzu]

are they 17x8??

what did we decide on for that other kid with the 17x8's??

275/45 r17's??

i think thats what is on my 17x8's also you could look at 275/40

uhhh yokohoma also makes good tires and kuhmo has really cheap performance tires

[itschristorres8]

if its those stock rims...are you sure they are 17in?
if not we need the rim width

17x9 275/40 would be good for the back and 255/40 or 45 up front

17x10 or 10.5 305 or 315s

[CyberPrey]

Hmm, if I was changing wheels, I would try an 18x8 in the front, and an 18x9 or 10 in the back.....

[chevy_killer]

i would go with 17x9 or 9.5 up front and 17x10.5 in back and drop it like 2 inches

well if hes getting new tires then why keep old rims get some nicer rims than the stock ones and the people that mount the tires will give a good size for him

17x8 and 17x10 is not a tire size

got me there. i just dont know shit about tire sizes. but what i was trying to say is that your not going to be able to put tires that fit on 17x8 on a wheel thats 17x10. so what would the tire sizes be for those wheels. doesnt have to be a specific one any example will work.

[itschristorres8]

for the 17x10 305 is good and i think 315 is as big as you can go unless thats on a 10.5...but usually you dont see alot of 10inch widths its mainly 10.5

the 17x8 240 is good or 240/40-45 maybe 235

he said "wheels"... wheels are not tires, unless someone changed shit when I wasn't looking....

[itschristorres8]

now that i think of it...why is his name ternminator(w/e)...and doesnt own a terminator..and you really dont need nittos right now anyway...not on a stock v6 at least. even with a few bolt ons its not as needed..sumi's would be a cheaper buy

ok let me clarify my needs - my car is going in the garage for the winter so no snow -- also i will need rims - im planning on getting the chrome polished bullitt style from http://www.americanmuscle.com/2005wheels.html the 17x9 but since ive never baught rims before i didnt knwo what size is good for the drag look for rear end of the car. i would like a wider tirer so does that involve a spacer or a wider rim ? im just not sure - and then the brand of tire i wasthinking was nitto -- so if someone can send me some types based on this - i would be most appreciated.

If you want that wider tire look get some 17x9.5-10 in the back and 17x8-9 in the front go to any tire place and tell them you want Nitto 555R's, and don't get an extremely low profile get one that fills the wheel well enough to make it not look goofy.
