17x8 on a mrk3?

[ScienceVR6]

is a 7x7 that much of a problem to fit? wow. Im beging to think that an 8" wont fit. i still want 17"s, but i dont want coilovers. is there enouther way? Where do the tyres rub?

also a 235/40 r17 is within the 15mm allowable. (rolling diameter)

its not only rim width. its tyre width. even different brands of tyre sit on the rim differently.

A 235 will just look retarted...205 for the banana(I mean win)

nah, 235z would look phatt! though i think ud be supprised how much the hight diff would be compared to the stocko's i think, would bb interesting. Though its just your speedo you hav t worry about, i dont think d pigs would do u for your tread? eventhough its illegal for ill-fitting tyres ive never heard of anyone gettin dun faw it?

235/40 isn't the right size. The rolling diameter - and thus your gearing (already too long) and speedo - would be screwed.

Tell them to man the f-ck up and stretch a 195/40 over it

i only want the 235 for the rear, the drive and speedo is done from the fron, or has anyone forgotten, WE ALL DRIVE FRONT DRIVERS! the front will be either 215 or 205. I love Realy Fat tyres. my magna ran 255's on the rear. the front had 225's. i had a set of 255/55 r 19 (from a BMW X5) on the rear of my bro's VN commodore wagon. That was seriously fat. that threw the speedo out, but we fitted a 4:11 diff gear in there and had the speedo re-calibrated.

Im going to speak with a couple of panel shops to see how far we can strech the gaurds and get the 8" wheels in there. If we can strech it far enough, i'll fit 245s

[DubSteve]

I'm sorry but thats going to look retarted, not a good look at all, stretch the tyre don't make it look fat!!!

i dont think you have to pump anything to fit just 8 inch rimz, get a set with the right offset and your laughing . . .
