Guys, if you remember, I said I was looking for new 16" rims. I found ugly ones so I looked else where and I found the perfect rim but it'* 17". That'* fine really but i don't want to mess up the speedometer, I know that if you make the rim bigger, you have to get a lower profile tire, my question is how low of a profile I should be looking for. My present tires on my 16ers are 225/60-16. I'm clueless on how to determine the tire size. I'll try to find a pic of the rim that I found.

Sorry if this is not in the right place, it'* general for me.

Thanks Mos, I knew I would trust a fellow SE to help another SE member out, you hear that you SSEi snobs. Just kidding Really I don't think SSEi owners are snobs.

uh oh...now i see a post in the notice section about SSEi bashing, since they whine so much. lol

That My Friend is the funniest line I read all day

Not as much as N/A drivers................. :P
(I couldn't resist!!)

Now,back to our regularly scheduled topic!!

Thanks, this will come in handy for me too in the future when I step up to some 17"*

i got these in AUG. of 05 , bought them at COSTCO

(got my new tires today (BFG 255/50ZR17 G FORCE KDWS)
had 65k on the Michelin (235/55HR17) darn good tire , just wanted a wider tire and the BFG'* only set me back $132.00 a tire. the BFG'* have the same treadwear rating (400) as the Michelin'* so i hope to get about the same mileage. the car looks good with the wider tires, GM should have offered the 255'* as a option. did i say the car looks darn GOOD ! )
