17x8 +15 with 225 45 17 Perfect Fitment? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey hows it going guys? I just bought a set of (4) XXR 512 Rims which are 17x8 and have a +15 offset all around. My question is would 225 45 17 be fine with this size? I have coilovers and I'm not slammed. I don't want to have to pull or roll fenders. Anyone who has pictures for reference would be perfect, thanks in advance! The rims will be going on this car:

(in this pic theyre 18x9.5's +30 offset all around in 255 35 18's)

It'll be sunk. 17X9+12 or so is perfect. Fender roll is easier than a diaper change.

17x8-5 is flush fitment. with a 215/40 tire.

Thanks for the comments guys. So youre saying its sunk but not horribly sunk like +40 offset right? Lol this is just my winter setup so im not too anal with flushness. What tire size would you guys recommend?

Don't listen to them, it'll look decent. You just won't be "cool" according to zilvia but who cares.

Nothing will be flush without rolling fenders.

There is a whole Thread dedicated to Wheel Fitment.

No need for a new Thread.

It's just a pity the management system is so fucking temperamental.
