Sparco Wheels

Alright, I've found the wheel I like. These won't fit on my tires that my current 17s stock LTZ wheels are on will they?

Yes but they will be stretched. They fit 5.5-7.5" wheels.

You're also not the first one to go with route. I recommend going with a 225/45/17 when you replace your stock tires.

but boy would it be hilarious to see them on a 5.5.

I would be able to get by with stock tires and Sparcos safely for a while though? Atleast until its time for new tires.

Yes, the sparco's are 7.5" wide, the range that the factory Hankook tire is capable of fitting is 5.5" to 7.5". You will be fine, your wheels will be a little more suseptable to curbing though since the tire side wall is being streatched out to the wheel lip. But, drivability and driving safety will not be a problem. But, to be honest with you, I can tell you you'll be fine all day and it doesn't me squat. If you're still worried even with the tire manufactures recommendations (and they are met) I highly recommend you to contact the Tire Shop that you're going to have install the tires and get their professional opinion.

Thanks! I'd rather save $400/500 and stretch my current tires and get full use out of them.

They won't be stretched like this

so more power to you. go for it!

It's not really much of a stretch; People have stretched 205's on plenty of wider wheels and they've been OK. You'll be fine.

 

[rdss]

Yeah, he'll be fine but I was just pointing out that it wont be optimal, the range for the 205 is 5.5-7.5 with a recommended 6.5. Run them until they are bald and get some 215 or 225's on them.
