DelSolSweetie Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 i have raptor 205/40zr17's on my baby.. sticky when you heat them up but they still last a good while.. and not really too expensive for a larger tire anything less your going to bend a rim on the smallest hole.. larger your going to rub like hell and maybe roll a fender mine rub every now and then but hardly ever.. and i have bent a rim with the tires but it was cause it was a huge hole.. so you still have to be careful idk what my exact drop is but its decent.. my front is lower i think.. everyone asks me how i havent rolled my fender cause it looks a bit close lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hessey0788 Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 pics will be on in a few. why shouldn't i put 17's on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocifero Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 pics will be on in a few. why shouldn't i put 17's on it? I think they look silly on such a tiny car. Same for Integras too, imo. 16s max for both of yas for looks and performance. Do what you want, that's just how I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hessey0788 Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 I agree 17's are rather big for such a small car but i wanted something bigger than the 14's that are on it now and i bought the rims for 150 with the tuner lugs i needed so i thought it was a good deal and i just added a pic of my car thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Sols shouldnt have 17s to begin with. :nono: i get a lot of compliments on my car with the 17's even more with the gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelSolSweetie Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 a 14 inch rim with large/normal size tires took up about the same about of same as the 17s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocifero Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Actually 15s look dope too. 16s or 15s look more natural to me. 17s look out of place. Like you wanted 17s no matter what car you have. This pic is tiny, but you get the idea. (15s) I honestly don't know where else to look for pictures of Del Sols. >_< *edit* Why'd you change your reply?

Orca89 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 ^ I'd have to agree, I like my rims, but I don't really like them on my car. There just isn't enough tire to muffle the bumps, not to mention how easy it is to scrape them up. Fortunately I'm getting a set of Si alloys soon.

hessey0788 Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 del sol sweetie your rims dont look to big on your car especially since the color matches. nice front end conversion but, why didnt you put in a nice set of halos? i'm going to be working on making halo headlights for the del sol, so when ever i get a few made i might put a few up for sale. Also so you think that if i put 205/35/17's that ill bend a rim? and will i have to worry about the front tires hitting when i turn the wheel thanks in advance.

hessey0788 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 I completely understand what your saying lol but once you have the money headlights and a nice intercool sticking out through your bumper would look spectacular I will hopefully have that soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
