I am getting new wheels and winter tires, hopefully today if I can figure this out...

I have an 02 225q, and I have the fat fives on there now, with 80% worn out kumho asx's... they still are fairly good in the wet surprizingly, BUT I am getting winter tires/wheels from tire rack (unless someone has a better idea about where to buy...


I am unsure about width...I wonder are the stock fat fives that I have 17x8??? or 17x7???

I know some may say to get anarrower rim/tire for the winter, but I maaaay get OZ ultraleggerawheels or something nice if I feel a little wild and then use the new wheels for summer too (after winter convert the fat fives to winter), so in case I do that, I want to get the same width as my fat fives, etc...btw, the winters Iwill getare the dunlop sp winter sport D3.

and feel free to tell me I will be nuts to get nice rims to put though the winter... but I am getting them all mounted and balanced, so the real question is to get 99dollar asa's or some real purdy ones... with cheapos I will use the fat fives in summer, if I get real nice wheels for sure I will use them in summer in place of the fives...



any help would be great, thanks!

 

^17x7.5

i think

 

hmmm, I I need to know for sure in case I will put the winters on the fives after the winter is over, ya know?

maybe 1/2 inch here or there doesnt matter, but I bet it does...

thanks though!

this is soo confusing!!!

in the link above this guy selling his says 17 x 8 !!!!! sheesh!!! which is it??!!

 

oh, and .clipse , I really like your wheels! which one are those??

 

or at least maybe someone will answer this question.... if I get ultraleggera's in 17 x8 will this be ok???


and will my winter dunlops work next year on the fat fives if they're ONLY 7.5 diameter??

please help if you KNOW the answer 100%, as I reeeeeally want to place an order tonight/tomorrow to get them shipped to me by monday ....crap I will go look in the manual, duh, maybe its in there!

 

17x7.5 @ 21lbs. Go with 215/45/17 for winter. The skinner the tire/wheel, the easier it digs in the snow. Jetta/git stock steelies are ideal. Think they are 16x6

 

Clipse copied my wheels... they are flik justices... hes selling his i think

 

Justice for winter wheels?[&o]

i have a set of OEM six spokes up for grabs though [&:]
