Finally Ordered Rims!!! UPDATE-Pic Posted!!

I got these with some 205/45/17 Kumho Ecsta 712 tires. The rims have a offset of 40. I have B&G coilovers and I just wanted to know if I can tuck with my setup? Thanks.

NICE!!! Gunmetal's gonna look great on your silver ride!

If they're 17x7 then you still might have to 'roll' the inside of your fenders (the edge). There's a thread here somewhere about how to do that, but I think Impulse or Osoboosted can tell you how to do it.


Don't forget the tuner lugs. Make sure you bring'em to a good place to get tires mounted (if tire don't come mounted). I busted my *** searching for a good shop, and still ended up getting my rims ****ed up

Nice looking rims. What brand? You will have to drop all the way to tuck. Pics when on the ride.

Can you lower it any more? Thats pretty damn close, XxSoVeReiGNxX. He is getting a 45 series tire. He might have a 1/4" tucked, it wont be very much at all.

why would you wanna tuck....it just makes your **** look like its broken....just get 18's an drop until there's like 1 finger gap or no gap....

tucks in my opinion just look like you're riding around on blown shocks....

thanks for your opinion....I know what look i was going for and I got it. I'm not fully tucking, the tire is meeting the fender with no rubbing and my drop is wonderful. I'm also glad I went wit 17's w/ 205/45/17 cause I drive on the streets of NYC. I'm still surprise I haven't bent a rim even wit my tire size, i can't even imagine what it would be like driving around on 18's. Anyway, I think my setup is perfect. I get compliments all the time and people love the drop.









thanks again for your input

I feel you...i only asked if I can tuck b/c I didn't want to hit a bump or a dip and rub. Instead it just tucks itself on that bump/dip and I'm good. That's all I really wanted to know, i didn't want to drive around tucked, just real low.
