Thanks Stratton, been a long day. I should have went to the first post instead of asking an easily answered question.

It's all relative...... I have 275's factory on my truck and I'm looking to go to 305's if I ever decide to go with a new wheel on it. The base model GM trucks are a lot smaller than 275.

i have 305 on my car thinking about going bigger lol

Obviously I meant wide for a sonic.. 305s on a drift car? must have some serious power... my camaro only has 275s to run 10.80s. I have baby 195s on my 240 drift car-- because stock SR

You, Sir, are a 300mm hubcentric spacer away from something very retarded. :banana:

And some DIY trash can fender flares should make it legal. lol.

what size tires would you guys recommend for rims that are 17x8 42et? I'm thinking 245/45?

edit: tire rack recommends 205/50.

Eric is running a 235/45/17 on a similar width/offset. I would see if you can find a shop with the 235's and 245's and see if you have clearance issues. 245's would be pretty cool in the little car and you would be the first so fitment would be on you.

oh, interesting. ok, i'll have to see what the shop thinks. thanks!

You should be fine with the wheels, but pushing the width of the tire might be your issue. I didn't think I could run 225's on the factory LTZ wheels since they are only 6.5" wide but they fit, so they are on and do not look cupped at all!lol I do look forward to installing my 19mm spacers when I get home though.

 

[JaSonic]

with a 42mm offset, i'm wondering if i need a spacer as well. might help make some room. and looks like you could use a drop. lol
