tire question

[wishinsky]

What size tires will fit on 17x7 rims with a +40 offset.... Will 225/55/17 fit?

Some 2 cents would be great. Hahaha

Yes that tire will easily fit that width of a wheel. Offset itself has no bearing on tire fitment. Offset in combination of overall tire diameter could have an effect on actual VEHICLE fitment though. What exactly are you trying to make fit on what vehicle?

Oh and this should have been posted in the tech section.

Ahh my fault on section. And my buddy gave them to me figured if they fit on my mustang I will use them if not I will just sell them.

02 v6

He said they were 4 and 5 lug

well for starters you need to figure out what the 4 and 5 lug patterns are.
at +40 offset they'd probably fit but in my opinion it'll look horrible.

What's the +40 offset? I don't know to much bout rims lol. And what would I need to know about the lug pattern how can I tell if the 5 pattern matches my 5 pattern on the car....I pick up the rims tomorrow

I have a pic of the specs on the box but idk how to upload it from my thunder bolt

+40 offset means that the mounting surface of the wheel is 40mm (towards the front of the wheel) from the center line of the wheel.

a quick check on American Muscle - the 17x8 wheels are +30mm offset so basically look at a picture of one of those and then suck the face of the wheel in another half inch.

As for bolt pattern - should be 5x4.5" or 5x114.3mm. If it's anything but that, do not use them. There is at least one bolt pattern that is close and the wheel will slide on but it won't bolt down correctly.

I looked up the bolt pattern for a 2011 sorento and its the only rear with a 5x4.5 so I should be good
