    3% is a ridiculous difference. 1" difference in diamater is huge. Its really not that hard for people to run the correct size tires.

    yes, that is fine. it would be better if they were 8" wide, but its not the end of the world.

    make sure they fit, the 5 lug could be a different bolt pattern.

    universal usually means it has both 5x100 and 5x114.3 bolt patterns, which would work for you. however, they could be something else. it's best that you try them on...

    why are you so focused on used wheels? new wheels arent that much more expensive than then you can spec out something to your exact needs.

    I think the price points... I have seen new wheels and tires in the $600 to $800 price range. Some with only a few thousand miles around that price... The latest ones are akita racing style 430 ak3 with yokohama ws4 tires for $650.00
    I really want chrome though

    The others I saw were kmc chrome wheels with hankook summer tires.. brand new for $800.. I need all season tires though..

    you dont need all seasons. that is why you keep your stock wheels and go back to them for winter.

    315/40/17 haha, But with my 18's on I was running 255/45/18.

    That's on a 10" rim with +24 offset, NO rubbing at all with stock suspension. I thought it was crazy that they fit!

    I use this to get an accurate idea on what the original tires to the new one will look like it also takes into affect the speed and gear ratio on your car.
