Hey Kyle. Those rims will be fine for your stock tires. I'm actually running the same tire size you are on some 17x7 motegis. Just make sure you get the 4x100 pattern. Also, what is the offset of the wheels? The offset should be between 37mm to 48mm. That's for stock suspension from what I've learned. With a lowered suspension, you should stick to an offset between 42-48mm. Hope this helps!

So the rims are only in one size... and the tire packages are what are different sizes, not the actual wheel correct? Just seeing if I am catching on here. Thanks.

Yes, they only have one size for that wheel(17x7). Like I stated earlier, just make sure you get the 4x100 pattern and you should be set!

Well...did you get the SportMax 941 wheels? If you did, I'm curious how they have turned out for you, and even if you happen to know how much they weigh individually...w/o the tire. I'm seriously looking at getting the black SportMax 941, in 16x7, for my LY/B MC. It's a nice looking (read: great looking!) wheel, at a decent price, and I'm not too concerned if it's not super lightweight, but I'd sure be disappointed if it turned out to be a super heavyweight! LOL

Your 17" 941 wheels would be a little heavier than 16", but pobably not by terribly much. Maybe 1-2 pounds? Hard for me to say, as I'm no wheel/tire pro, but I am trying to learn as I go.

Also, if you did get these wheels, how was the buying experience? Okay? WheelMax is not well known for great customer service, though they seem okay...in a run of the mill sort of way. How long did it take for them to be delivered after ordering? Were there any unusual installation problems? And, lastly, got any better pics?

This will be my first time getting aftermarket wheels, and I'm a little filled with trepidation about the whole thing, but also very excited about the adventure of it all.
