For those with wheels...

Just curious, but what did you end up paying for the entire package...wheels and tires, whether you have 17's or 18's....?

rookie question...

1. what do those wheel/rim numbers represent?

X/Y/Z - i mean, i kinda figured Z is the size (diameter) of the rim in inches. am i correct? what about X and Y? is X the width? if it is, what's the measurement unit?

2. what is the size of biggest tire/rim that can fit on our car?

thanks for your helps.

You might be referring to the speed rating of the tire.

Oh, the price was mounted/balanced & locking lugs. And I know, the tires look oddly thick for 40 series...here are a few recent pics






And the lip:

Tire dimensions are what you are asking about.

It's width in MM / hieght of sidewall as a percentage of width / wheel size being mounted to. So a 225/40/18 is:

225mm wide
40% of 225mm wide (90mm)
Mounts to 18" wheel

Depending on the wheel width (e.g 8.5"), you would get the appropriate width of tire. For an 18" x 7.5" wheel, 225/40/18 would be applicable. Some go with 235/40/18 or 235/35/18, but I think those don't sit on the wheel as nice.

There are speed ratings and tread wear ratings too, look at the link (and sublinks on that page) for more insight.

I got my 18 x 7.5 for 985 with Kumho 712

www.gotwheelsandtires.com

Here is a picture of my car with my wheels:

http://public.fotki.com/GMB2000/my_9...cture_010.html

Some of you guys paid way to much for your wheels. 1200 should be the max IMO.

Volk Racing cv-europe 17's w/ 215/45/17's......8 bills used from one of my homeboys

not bad considering they were about $3000 w/tires in 95 and there are only a few sets in this country.

Brand new I won't spend less than 2500 on rims - no tires
