RedBaseBolt

205/40/17

DC52NV

it's an ok weight for the combo. what kind of rims and tires?

BlackSS05

seems a little heavy b/c i think sum1 on here put 18s on with that same weight.

RedBaseBolt

eagle wheels and wan li tires. I wasn't really sure if they would be light weight or not , but I figured I'd ask anyways.

Thanks for the opinions.

BlackSS05

i have heard and seen that wanli tires are not really that great. i could be wrong and someone correct me but i heard they are sh*t.

40 lbs isnt anything special, but a decent weight. Seeing how most wheels 17" weight less than 20 lbs and most tires around 16" anyways weigh 20 lbs.

DC52NV

my 18" combo is under 38 lbs. i need lighter tires.

p7x

seeing how ur wheels are 14lbs.....hells ya u need lighter tires!

How much were ur wheels if u dont mind me asking?

RedBaseBolt

I did a little research and as far as I can tell they are middle of the line.

I can't afford much more anyways. But for a strictly summer tire I think they'll be fine.

How much do the base model wheel/tire/hubcap () weight?

RedBaseBolt

Hahaha exactly my point! If this combo is at least a little lighter I'll be happy .

DC52NV

yeah, my tires are toyo proxes 4 225/40/18. my rims aren't that light. they are 14.7 lbs. my rims are listed at $650 each.

RedBaseBolt

Yeah and Mine are $140. Can you spot the difference?

BlackSS05

haha toyo proxes 4. i had those on my cts needless to say i blew up 4 of them. LOL potholes suck on LI even at 30 mph. So yeah i blew out four sidewalls. I had to buy 6 tires all together and only had the car for 2 years. car only had 30k when i returned it too.

RedBaseBolt

damn... good things roads are flat here

DC52NV

i've hit about 20 or more potholes going over 60 mph and never had a blowout or a dent on my rim. not buying another set though.

RedBaseBolt

anyways thanks for the info, I've got a good idea of things for me now.

Thanks guys.

For comparison the stock ss/sc wheels and tires (215/45/18) weigh about 50lbs....

fljohnboy

The stock 16" wheels and Michelins were exactally 40 pounds each. The 17" on there now are 37.5 lbs.

RedBaseBolt

Those are 17's in your sig? How tall a tire are you running cause they look smaller than 17.

fljohnboy

215/45-17

RedBaseBolt

they honestly look like 16s from the angle of that pic.

Not bashing, just saying bro.

I'm getting 205/40/17, Maybe it's the height of the tire.?

IonNinja

yours are gonna be the same way...205/40/17 is a tire combo that is mostly used on Civics. That tire is gonna look like a rubberband...

At the very least you need to go 215/45/17
