OK, on my tires, it says 17x9.5, now if thats the tires, would the rims be 17x9 or 17x9.5, cuz every time I look for 17x9.5" rims for i can never find any...
since you seem confused, im gonna follow up on my post....
the first number is 245, which is the width of the tire in millimeters (not the rim). the second number is the percentage of that width that is the height (or sidewall). the last number is the width of the inside of the tire (which is the size rim diameter it can fit on). a lower profile tire will have a lower percentage per tire width. im guessing off the bat that you can probably run something like 255/45 17 on that cobra tire, maybe 265/55 17 im guessing. hopefully someone with those dimension rims will chime in.
Go to www.wheelreplicas.com and look for the Y2K Cobra R wheels. Those are 17x9.5. But those wheels might be too wide for the front. I wouldn't go wider than 17x9 for the fronts.
stock wheels: 17x8 on all four corners.
going aftermarket: get 17x9 in front, and 17x10.5 in the rear. or if u want to get 18s go ahead, but they will be heavier.
