smaller wheel size?
 

what is the smallest rim size that fits on the 8? im looking into buying smaller rims so I dont pay so much for tires because i have the car set up for autoX and the front wheels are rediculously cambered and have alot of toe-out. they eat through tires like no other.

What class are you planning on running with your smaller non-Stock-legal wheels?? Street Prepared? unless you've got tons of suspension tuning, you'll likely get smoked!
someone did post here a while back that many 17" will work. probably 17"x9 and get a 275 tire. I don't believe any 16" wheel will fit over the front brakes.

If you have an AT you can get 16's and up but if you have a MT you would need to find some wheels that can clear you calapers.

first time ive heard of some1 wantin to go smaller... every1 seems to want to go 19-20's lol

im not running smaller wheels for autoX, im running stock size, but I can't afford to drive around on the street with 18'' rubber.

ahhh, gotcha. in that case, many 225/45/17 tires can be had for relatively cheap, if you're not too picky about everyday street grip.

So 17's do fit the front brakes? Is there a certain offset range it needs to stay in to fit? I might get some 17X9 BBS so i can have more tire size choices and cheaper tires later on, plus less unsprung weight and still maximum width.

ok heres what im looking for, the absolute cheapest all season tires on the absolute cheapest rims that will fit on my car.
