There are some chrome bullitt rims on Ebay that are being sold by AFS Wheels at an awesome price. They are 17x9 with a +36mm offset and triple chrome plated. Will my stock 235/55-17 tires fit on a 9" rim without problems? Will they look weird or just a little bit wider?

Like shorter small or overall small?

Should I stick with 17x8 chromes?

narrow 17x8 would be a better choice for stock tires

Now where can I find 17x8 chrome bullitts? I've looked everywhere and can only find 17x9 for 05-06.

You can get a better deal on 17x9 on ebay. I just bought a set from custom wheel market for 548 delivered to my door. You're probably gonna want to get some bigger tires at least for the back. I ended up going with 255/50 up front and 275/50 out back. Looks really cool with the large tires..

Isnt the offset for the front tires 34mm, I am not sure but with the 36mm offset I think you need a spacer.

Click to expand...
the stock offset is +45mm on an 8 inch rim. when you change the width, the offset will also change.
