BBS RGR 17x7.5

Finish: Bright Satin Sil Paint
Size Selected: 17x7.5
Price: $411 each
Recommended Tire Size: 215/50-17
Wheel Offset: +48mm
Lightweight: 17.0 lbs
Bolt Pattern: 5-114
Finish Warranty: 1 Year

Stock wheel/tires are 17x6.5 right? Will these fit ok on a 2003 TL-S with the stock size tires?? Will it rub w/ and w/o comptech springs?

If using the same tire size, what will the 6.5 to 7.5 difference do to it?

Why bother with 17s? Gotta go at least 18.

With 18"s I would definitely need a drop. Also worried about bending these things on the NYC roads.

i wouldn't put 215s on that rim width...go wider and get a lower aspect ratio.

I don't know much about tires... what do you suggest then? It is pretty bad with potholes and shit in NYC.

235/45-17 will fit nicely on those wheels...all with no rubbing!
Post pics when you get them mounted.

people who stay with the stock size confuse me. IMHO if you are looking to upgrade your car, sticking with a stock size will not make enough of an appearance difference to make it worth the money. I would save my money and keep the stocks before I would spend $$ on 17" wheels

Is it easier to bend 18" rims than 17"s? I assume you can have more sidewall for the 17s" than 18"s.
