To answer your question, 165/35/17s dead on ***** speedo.

 

Q: What size tire should I use if I am getting bigger rims?
A: 195/60-14, 205/60-14, 195/55-15, 205/50-15, 215/50-15, 205/45-16, 215/45-16, 205/40-17, 215/35-18 are some common tire sizes that will fit.

 

you will wanna run a 215/40-17 if you want a larger tire that wont rub

a 165 series tire would be like running a donut spare on the car...and then try to find a 17" rim that narrow enough to saftely run a 165[&:]
besides, a 165/35 would be pretty much like having a rubber band around your rim.....has anyone ever tried to find a 165/35-17???? ive never even heard of that size....

save yourself any trouble and get the 215/40....

 

weel its cool i bought the rims and tires today thx spud i took your advice got 215/40 - r 17 so there nice lookin there in my garage jus got em like 20mins ago but tomarrow after school imma put them on and take a few pics !!!! so excited to have rims

 

i felt the same way u do right now about 2 months ago. i just bought some srt4 rims and im runnin 205/40/17 i loved to get rid of my steeleys with hub caps. but now when i wanna do a nasty burn out ill just throw my steeleys on. but good luck tryin to find a place that will mount the tires on the rim w/o messin them up at all. i had to go to tire kingdom because for one i was told i needa go somewhere where they had a "robo arm" to mount low pro tires. i ges the sidewall was to stiff to move. everywhere i went said they could do it but they couldnt do it safely w/o scratchin, chippin etc. good luck have fun wit em

 

lo pros are a B!TCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

well i put them on today ... they ar 17 x 7.5 and i had trouble with them rubbing in the back .... i have a couple washers as spacers untill i get payed friday is that safe? i tightened them down good and i plan on keeping an eye on them so ...
