Guys, need your advice

I have set of 17x8 +38 Bolt pattern 114.3. Would these fit & what size tire?

Help me out, my XB is 2 weeks old

Thanks for sure. Ill test fit them this weekend. Im installing my Eibach Pro's & TRD RSB in the next week.

Thinking about a 225/45/17 which is very close in overall circumference to the stock tire (Its .7" wider though to the outside)

Hi,
I have a set of (4) 235/45-17's Fuzion ZRi's I'm going to list on Craigslist for $160 (for all 4). The tires have 8 to 9/32's of tread depth, new they come with 10/32's. I put about 3000 miles on them. I went to 245/45-17's Fuzion HRi"s All-Season for a softer ride. I also installed Eibach made TRD springs & rear sway-bar on the xB. I'm over 50 and too old for a stiffer ride. Had this set of tires mounted on a 17x8 45et wheels on our xB with No rubbing issues!

The true story for these tires is Bridgestone & Firestone went with a joint adventure. These tires run narrow for a "Performance category tire", tread width is 235/45-17 is 8". New these tires came with a Bridgestone (UNI-T) sticker on the tires. A family friend owners a Firestone store.

I tried to post a link but it wouldn't work on this web site? :mad:
So, go to Tire Rack look at brands of tires, tab on FUZION TIRE's, then tab on ZRi.

Thanks Guys, all of you for your help. Ended up buying some NEXEN N3000 225/45/17 & with the Eibach Pros, what a difference in handling

This is my DD so will not be going wild w/it. I have an EVO in the garage for that

Just added the following:
1. Phillips LED DRL's
2. Old school DashMat
3. Eibach ProKit springs (approx 1.2" drop)
4. TRD RSB
5. Curt tow hitch
6. Mitsubishi EVO 9 wheels / 17x8 +38 / Nexen 225/45/17 (340 treadwear)

A quick pic of my EVO if you dont mind


Thanks for looking, Peace, Joe

Sweet, lets see some side pic of those new shoes and the lowered look. And a pic of the hitch too if you don't mind, I need to do that too.

Heres a couple of shots including the Curt hitch.
The Eibach Pro's are a very modest drop & thats what I wanted for my DD.
By adding the Nexen N3000's tires, the ride is very firm & actually corners very well. My main car interest is my EVO as you can tell by my tongue in cheek Lancer emblem:p
Peace guys, Joe

Thank you Sir for bumping my old thread.

Yes, thats a pretty good one. Its good because they overlay the 2 pkgs together
This is the one Ive been using the most
Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com
you are welcome. and going along with what is being talked about, I would like to find a nice roof bike rack that can take beach cruisers... I got my girlfriend one and I have a stretched for on mine which brings the length of my bike to over six feet long and I haven't been able to find bike tray long enough for it. what could you recommend?

Remind me . . .
Which bike rack is that and how do you like it?

Hi Jack

Its an Allen 2 bike. Wanted something that had good reviews & was inexpensive

No complaints. When securing bikes I always use a few additional tie downs to ensure the bikes are stable
Not bad for the money / Bought from Amazon: Amazon.com: Allen 2 Bike Carrier Hitch: Sports & Outdoors

Thanks.
I've been (casually) looking at the DeeZee one at the local Tractor Supply Co. and the 3-bike Allen one at the nearby Academy Sports (both close in price).
I figure I could hold bikes and also suspend stuff from them (like a ship of sail oft carried one or more of it's boats).

^^^Well, Im not the bike rack expert=)

Maybe picking a rack where you have to remove the front wheel would work better.
Certainly there must be racks that have that type of front wheel mount?
