im trying to figure out what tires i need. our stock s4 wheels are 17x7.5x45
i have a set of wheels that are 17x8x48. ok so i know i need atleast 3mm spacers to cover the offset. but i need to know what size tires would LOOK the best. i know my tires that i have will fit (225x45x17) but i think it would stretch it a bit and on a 17" wheel and stock ride height i think that will look like ***. i have plans in the future for coilovers, but for now. these wheels would be my daily driving wheels so im looking to get all season touring tires or something... im kinda lost. is anyone running any kind of setup like this? any pics? would a 225x50x17 tire fit in our wheel wells?

i have done the wheelsmaster.com thing, it says it will fit, but i want it to look good too,

if anyone could enlighten me/ help me with this... thank you

 

i thought we had a 35 offset not 45? if im right then you'd need an 8mm wheel spacer and if im wrong you wont need a wheel spacer but you might need to roll your fenders when you lower the car. who knows i could be *** backwards and confusing you even more. you could always stick a 235 tire on there and wont look as streched. ive heard good things about general exclaim all seasons. they are a really good price and many good reviews

 

thanks , i dont think you can confuse me any more... thats how i live my life,lol
