I have tires in mind... They are BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW.... One thing what size should I go with? 205/40R17, 215/40R17, 225/40R17, 235/40R17 or 245/40R17??? Since I will be going with 17x8" rims... Maybe 215/40R17 since we have 215's now, BUT that is with an inch bigger rim?

I wouldn't go under 215, but since you will have a wider rim I would go atleast 225. Go to tirerack.com and see what the recomended wheel size is for that size tire, or vice versa.

Personally once you have 18's I think 17's look too small. I don't see the point in downgrading its not going to give you that much of an advantage.

Sorry for not keeping a eye on this thread every day. My car's PCM completely failed this week , and a new PCM had to be ordered for it. I've had to work consistently on my 72 Bug to get back and fourth to work. The bug runs like a champ now though! As soon as things are back to normal soon, I'll proceed on with the wheels here. Please keep the wish list going though!!! Looks like we have enough to make an order here!

I just sent another e-mail to check on your weights P7X, and to ask if we can get those prices even know we all want different wheels.

If I ever get my car back from the dealership, and actually decide to keep it (see other post of mine), I think the SubZero's will look good on it.

Why not 17's? Lighter, wider, and a smoother ride? I can ask for on set of 18's though if you'd like. Let me try.

Well honestly I want 19" ... The deciding factor for me as far as the Rotas are concerned will be when its gonna happen because im currently shopping around wheels... and if I find something I really like I will probably get them.
