what size tires can i run on 17" wheels on a lowered gen 3. also what width and back space. i've read that you can use "17x91/2-inch with 5-1/2-inch backspacing front, 17x11 with 5-1/2-inch backspacing rear. Use 275/40 front tires and 315/35 rear. This is tight in the rear." from Car Craft

any opinions about 275-40-17's all the way around? steel or aluminum wheels?

I don't know what sizes fit, but go aluminum for the wheels. I don't think they even make 17" steel wheels.

wheel vintiques makes a steel rally in 17"

OK... don't get it :P Get American racing Hopsters or Boyd Smoothie IIs if you ask me :cool:
