    Im looking for a set of tires thatll be close to the same size tires as stock ones. not as tall but super low profile. the rims are gona be 17" x 7". i was gona get some stern rims in 18"x8" and i was told 245/45/18 would be close. so would that still be the same? or would i need to get something like 235?

    if your only getn 17s id get a 35-38mm back spacing 45+on a 17 gona make it tuck under to much. the higher the offset the more they tuck under,the lower the offset the more they are gona stick out

    stock is +52mm, so it will still be a decent upgrade over stock. usually i say the 'best' offset to look for is +38mm.

    nearly all of them will price match or beat competitors. find the wheels you want, then find a price you want.
