so here's the deal.
I've got a 2003 Mitsubishi Galant Es that i got some rims for, im having trouble figuring out what tire size i need to put on them that wont rub the crap out of my ride.
The rim size is 17x7.5 with a 45mm off set.
just in case you need more info on the rims, the link below is them.

You should be good, I'm running 17x8 with 45 offset
ok, so the rims will work. sweet. any idea what size tire i'd need to put on it?
I have 215 but when I was looking for tire sizes somebody also recommended 225
225/45 R17 tires are what you need.
Don't buy some cheapass tires and you're good.
Great, thanks alot dude.
and one more thing, if said rims and tires were put on the car, how far do you think i could lower it before i ran into trouble?
Not so sure, might have to wait for some of the lowered guys to post. I haven't lowered mine yet but I will pretty soon with tein springs which are 1.7" in the front and 1.5" in the back and I shouldn't rub or need to get my fenders rolled.
you've got a gtz, your suspension is a little different from mine i believe, and i dont think youd have a problem. not so sure about my es.
id like to roll my fenders just for the heck of it anyway, i dont mind it.
why would anyone roll fenders on a stock setup?
That question was for the OP I know your setup which may require fender rolls for the drop.
sorry G-spot kind of skipped over his last response, then i read it and took off the post
17x7.5 +45mm w/ 225/45r17 can be dropped up to 3" without rubbing. maybe even more. you will not need to roll fenders unless you camber correct, and even then u might not need to.
