Welcome to TGC, nice looking Galant there!

[Skyforger]

Not bad, like I said in the wheel thread, the bronze is a nice look. Stick with it.

Also, those tires are the wrong size. You need 225/45 R17's, those 225/50 R17's are much too big in diameter.

[4g63lover]

Tires are wayyy too big. you trying to go rock crawling bro?











































































other wise looks like a good start.

[specter6633]

damn they not rock climbing big. besides i need the cushion with these potholes in the south bronx.

[Skyforger]

damn they not rock climbing big. besides i need the cushion with these potholes in the south bronx. but since they only 1 month old im stuck with them.

Doesn't matter, they're the incorrect size.

I've been running a set of 235/45 R17's with a set of wheels I have for 3 years...despite many rough roads, no bent rims.

Correct aspect ratio > false idea of cushiony sidewalls

when i get summer rims then ill try to get 235 but would that be bigger then the wheel well?

[Skyforger]

What the hell are you doing ripping through the mud in a Galant? Get a truck for that...

But I ran my set of ROH Adrenalin's, 17x8 with those 235/45 R17 tires without an issue on the G.

[specter6633]

are your fenders rolled?

[Skyforger]

are your fenders rolled?

No, then again, mine isn't lowered.

[specter6633]

well then that answered that. i lowered 1.7 front and 1.3 in the back. so im sure the wheels will be too wide. well these pop out a bit and they 225. if i get a rim set with a lower offset will the tires be more in the wheel well? my offset now is 43+

[Skyforger]

That offset is higher than my ROHs, (they're +35) but 225/50 tires sit taller than 235/45 tires, so you should be fine.

NEGATIVE read up greddy is running like 255 i believe. and he is lower then you i believe also all about width and offset toe and camber

[Bloody Arro]

^ Yeah but he also butchered his fenders getting to be able to run that size. Granted you don't see it because of his fender flares. There's a thread on the site somewhere about how he did it.

[specter6633]

i figured cuz all his pictures show huge wheels. although they look freaking sic. he should get a side mounted camera.

shhh...lol. anyways my point is if he finds the right combo he could fit 235 with no mods except rolled fenders and some camber

[greddy]

first of all, my fenders aren't BUTCHERED, they are cut, but if I take the flares of they just look flared out and a little "thin" because there is no lip to them and the paint was a little chipped, which doesn't matter now since I got the car repainted. Second of all, all you need is a 225/45 and you'll be fine, or a 215/50, or a 235/40, or a 245/40, etc...

Just stop.

And obviously you wouldn't have an issue, you have 6 feet of air between your tyres and any part of your car.

OP, if your tyres are not rubbing constantly, you're fine until the tyres wear out, just note that your speedo/odometer will be a bit off.

Greddy, why you butchering your fenders all the time? lol

[99galantES]

I have the same wheels in white and I'm running 235/45/17 and I'm dropped 2in and I'm fine
