Hows it goin?

I just got a quick question: I just bought some 17x7's, I still need to get tires, but I'm not sure if there is a recommended tire that is inexpensive?

Also, do I need any modifications at all to throw these rims on? I'm not dropped or anything, I've done nothing with my suspension, I'm thinking it should be fine, but I'm not too familar with wheels and suspension and all that, and since almost everyone here has some experience with it, I figured I'd ask.

Thanks

for an 8G, go with the Falken ZIEX 512 size 215/40 or 45ZR17. they are between 85-100 a piece. fairly cheap if you ask me. that's what i'm rolling on right now and have for the last 2yrs. they are all weather/season. and have a treadware rating of 360. great traction when not bald of course. sorry for the "review". lol

if you get the right tire size no suspension changes are necessary. many people lower their cars after getting plus sized wheels though because hte wheel gap is exaggerated.

yeah sorry, like sr. said above, no suspension changes will need to be made. just slap those wheels on! but on a 7" wide wheel, the widest tire avail. is a 215. how thick you want them is your option based on how bad the roads are. mine are 17x7 with 205/40 which is the smallest tire you can get because i don't like flex at all.
