what is the widest tire i can fit on my 17x7 5zigen fireball? i have 215/45/17...i was thinking maybe a 225? and would that claer on the accord? i'm not so good with tires so i'm not even sure if the 225 is the correct number for width. any help?

 

225 might be a bit wide for 7" rims but it might fit.
my stock fronts are 225/45/17 on 7.5" wide wheels.

 

The problem with going with 225 is that they don't make anything smaller in terms of sidewall ratio. I don't think that there is such a thing as a 225/40 or even a 225/35 tire. Not in 17's anyways...

 

7" pizza cutters, hmm, id go with a 215 at the most. maybe even a 205

 

yep not made in 40/35 series in 17"

they do make 225/40/16

 

i wish i had smaller less heavyer and wider rims...

 

you can get slicks for that.

 

true...but i want something that will be good as daily driven and handle well too, not that my 17's dont but they are just too heavy...and changing them sucks, i wish i would have wnet 16's now...wiht maybe like 16x7 is that the widest tehy make em? that woudl be sweet cause i can auto cross good in that and also not to big for the track.

 

I'd be worried about tramlining under braking with 225s on your car.
I can sense it a bit in my teg, and I run 205/45 R16s. 225 width adds another 20mm (?) to that?!? :shocked:

On second thought, the offset would be all screwed up....I doubt it would fit at all..?

Plus that's a shiet load of rolling resistance...

What model tire are you running on the street now?

 

i'm totally lost by what you said dave heheh. i'm currently running 215/45/17, what did you say about braeking? i didnt understand a word heheh.
