help guys! i have 215/45/17 new tires fitted with 17 x 7.5J wheels,

nah it's fucked m8

>>17888908
please don't mess with me, i'm too retarded to figure it out

7.5 Is too narrow, I run 215 tires in my Focus with 8 rims and it's just right.

>>17888920
but will it work with putting those tires on the 17x7j's or will there be premature wear on tires and shit

>>17888903
Tire size vary on brand but seems too narrow. Better be safe then sorry

>>17888903
You're fine my dude. On one vehicle I have 285s on 8 wides and on another 235s on 7 wides

Oh, but also you need to take into account the offset/backspacing of the wheels he's giving you as well as the width of course for fitment.
I assumed you were just talking about the rubber, in which case you'll be fine.

>>17888962
thanks, in most cases should one opt for no less than factory sized wheel? originally the car has 17.7.5's i feared the 17x7 wheels would be worse or cause extra wear on tires. Any insight on that?

Depends on offset

I'm honestly not sure about the wear, but I reckon it can't make too much of a difference. If you look up your tire on Tire Rack they'll have a chart with a range of recommended widths. Anything in that range will be fine, but you can usually even go outside that range.

>>17888979
offset is identical

thanks for the info!

It may look a little different as well if that's what you're concerned about. Sidewall will be angled in marginally more instead of more angled out and stretched, if that makes sense.
