Im about to buy some Si wheels like my artist rendering shows (thanks Marnie, you kick ***). Does anybody have any idea what lug conversions run for? And will the tires already on the wheels fit on my car? Help me out here.

survey says:

it's over the recommended 3% difference.

what does that mean?

 

your speedometer will be wrong, and overall the tires will be bigger by almost 1.5". I don't know if that's enough to start rubbing. Probably not. It will cut down on wheelgap but this warning comes up too:
disclaimer: I'm not an expert

 

then wouldnt that apply to everybody that has aftermarket wheel 16" and bigger!?

 

Nah, you just need a different profile tire.
I have 205/45/R16 on mine. And I also have 16x6.5 wheels.

 

I really dont want to buy $500 in tires if I dont have to.

 

Yeah I understand. But I don't know how much "over" in size you can REALLY get away with.

 

p.s.: good deal on the wheels [sm=smiley20.gif]

 

If you mean that by the auction, yea I think so. Who is the the local wheel guru around here anyway?
