5k with 17" whls

[PDQSHIP@aol.com]

Yes, 17's fit, I remember EC did a article on a guy that put 215/40-45 17's
on his 5ktq and it fit fine....  I will share, however that offset is
critical for this app, my 205/55 SP8k's on 16X7.5 rubbed the rear fenders on
my car. a little coaxing from mr bat helped, but the 5ktq wheels are usually
not Hubcentric, they share the same bolt pattern (larger threads in the 5ktq)
as the mercedes 300, but the offset is usually about 10mm outbound (you can
tell this becuz the 300 app needs centering rings for the 5ktq)..  The only
wheels that I know are 5ktq specific are the AST LS and the MOMO apps....  My
guess is that you would be better off going after a 225/50 16 than the 215 17
if you need to do the fender work anyway, graydon, Michigan with less than a
50 series is a lesson in pothole avoidance theory, not driving enjoyment.....
