    205 45 17s on a 7G

    I might be getting a new/used set of rims for my 7G, since I can't get the cracked lip on the ones I have fixed. The wheels have 205 45 17s on them. I am running 215 45 17s right now. Would I be alright with the 205s or should I get my 215s swapped on.

    I would think that you'd be fine with the 205's, but it never hurts to have a little more rubber, I'd swap your old tires on if I were you.

    They will work...just less contact area with the 205's.

    okay I see.
    this is one set of wheels these are the ones with the 205s. They are ADR's

    they look really similar to what's on there now

    and someone on a local forum has these for sale too

    third ones for sure.


    don't get 205 they too small. get the 215 put back on.

    205 will be thinner and not as tall. all be it by a little, but it will make damaging stuff more likely and give a worse ride. the more rubber the better

    Thanks Scott. Either way they will have 45 series tires, thicker than my 8G has though.

    they look confusing. to much going on. rivets, multiple levels. they look like what jdm hondas usually have. or like 240's

    if you can get them cheap, i guess go for it.

    how much you looking to spend?

    LOL. Yeah that's what I saw when I searched them on the web. They were on a Nissan Sentra Spec V.
    I am not looking to spend much. He wants 250 for them without tires.
    I just want to replace the one wheel on the 7G with the cracked/bent lip. I would love to get the same wheel, but they are seeming to be hard to find since they are discontinued. I found a site that had them, and the one wheel was like 180. So figured if I can get another set of wheels for like 2-300 I might be better off

    this kind of looks like the rim you have

    http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-rim...k%20Gloss.html

    i seen the tenzos are 187 plus shipping. it sucks man. i would say see how much you can get for the 3 other rims you got and wait to get another set.

    if you need some wheels to ride on, i got my steelies that will never fit my car again. i give em to you real cheap. not trying to put a sale add in here. but i wouldn't pay 187 + for another rim. thats like half way to another set.

    wow. That looks exactly the same except for the logo etched onto the lip.
    great find. Yeah I hear ya with the price of the wheels.
    I am just trying to get something cheap.
    thanks for the offer on the steelies. I have steelies with hubcaps also. I was just trying to figure this out now before the winter, cause I might have a harder time finding a replacement wheel next year.
    As far as trying to flip the 3 of them. I would try to get rid of all 4 anyways. The tire is holding air, I don't even feel it's a big deal, but I don't want it to become one.

    ya i understand. the wheels almost match exactly.

    just sand it out and repolish it

    since it's your daily you don't want the bead of the tire to just give out.

    maybe these?
