Tire Wheel Combo

[Todd Phenneger]

 On another note,   I've known a few people that have bought 45 offset wheels and then had a couple mm machined off the inside hub surface to make it about a 48mm or so.  THen used a spacer in front to retain 45 - 40mm offset.   If you dont go custom and wheels have plenty of material to do this with its an option.

You shouldn't have any problems fitting 17". If I could do it on my golf, you
definately can on the 5k. Probably like a 225/40-17, or a 215/45-17 would work
great. Just double check your offset, but if the rims have the wrong offset,
spacers can be safely used. Check out some of these sights:

I hope this helps. I also have a tire size conversion chart in xls (Excel)
format if you want to properly plus size tires. It gives you circumfrence and
RPM divergence.
