blkwag Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I had the wheel and tire combo on for 3 days and 200 miles. Tire size 225/45R17 and wheel is 17X7.5 The stearing wheel seems to be heaver or harder to move while driving and the feel from the road makes the car feel tire heavey. I now need to upgrade the suspention to get full benifet from this move. I will post a photo later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jduke Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I had the exact same result of going to a 17 x 7.5 rims and also have 225/45/17 Cooper Zeon 2XS summer tires, Seems a bit heavier with the steering but I also added a bit more -neg camber to the fronts, so that will make it a bit harder to turn as well. Overall, I have had these on for about 2 weeks or so and I like them, just trying to find the perfect psi for the tires, started at 40f - 38r was to hard, now I'm at 35/36 f - 33/34 r a bit to soft I think 37 f - 34/35 r will be the ticket.

blkwag Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 I was staying with 33 both ends and just looking at tire wear and what you have in the tires now should do the trick fine. The wheel tire combo seems to be right. A light wheel and a extremly good tire. Why cant the factory do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
