Damn. TSW makes 17 inch rims for our cars?

Lol I have been wanting a set of strip rims for a while but don't want the car to look like shit with mismatched rims. And I didn't want to spend $1500 on a full set of wheels and tires. Anyways, TSW makes the Nurburgrings in a 17x9.5 wheel for 5x4.5 bolt patterns. I was then thinking about throwing some 275/50/17 M&H's on there.

Thoughts?

Do it...

Do it...

I may have to. It'd be about the same as buying some Bogarts for the rear with tires.

Those tires are kinda small for that wheel. M&H 275's are more like 245-255's.

Actually I read it wrong. They are 9 inches wide. Those tires fit a little wide on my 8 inch rims, so I think they'll go great on 9's.

That's what M&H recommends.

Tread Width: 9.5"
Section Width: 10.5"

Circumference: 88.0"
Rim Size: 9.0"

The 275's will be rather narrow on a 9 inch wide wheel. I run the M&H 325/45-17's on a 9 inch wide wheel.

Here's a pic to give you an idea.....
