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

yeah, they'll fit fine.

depends on what look you're going for. you can fit a big tire on it if you want, or stretch something on. you'll have plenty of room.

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)

you should be fine.

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?
So, go to Tire Rack look at brands of tires, tab on FUZION TIRE's, then tab on ZRi.

215/45

215/45

215/45-17's on a 8" wheels & pot holes = bent wheels!

Min. tire size for a daily driver is 225 in my book. Your $ do as you please.

I will say do some research! :book:

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 rides

i need to get me a HIDDEN HITCH brand hitch and bike rack so i can haul my bikes too

 

[Toasted]

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.

 

[MinusPrevious]

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
Peace guys, Joe

check them out. It is, in my opinion, the easiest calculator to use.

Thank you Sir for bumping my old thread.

Yes, thats a pretty good one. Its good because they overlay the 2 pkgs together

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

 

[MinusPrevious]

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

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).

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?

 

[MinusPrevious]

^^^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?
