    ..Nankang tires 215/45/17

    Including everything, lugs, install, balancing ect.... 1038.xx

    I was originally told 17x7.5 with 225/45/17

    How much does it matter that the width is going to be down a half inch, as well as going with 215 instead of 225.

    Good deal it seems to me, just looking for some input.

    Edit:

    586.36 for the rims inc. tax.
    84.00 a tire = 336.00 for tires.

    the nankang tires are absolutely worthless, so its not a very good deal. They might as well wrap the wheels in rubber bands and then send them to you. You'd be better off getting something else.

    for $84 a tire you could get much better summer tires. I'd recommend Kumho ectsta mx's.

    Falken FK-451

    Think I'm going with these ones, same rims...

    Discount tires is going to get my business I'm almost positive. Good prices that are somewhat negociable. Everything I have here is AMAZING costomer service.

    Thanks for the input.

    Make sure they're the right offset. You probably know that though.


    EDIT: I spotted you a while back on Summit in St. Paul. My wife also spotted you in that area! SPOTTED!
